Pieces of Chocolate:Surveying Slave and Planter Lifeat Chocolate Plantation, Sapelo Island, Georgia

Over four decades ago Reynold J. Ruppe suggested that archaeological survey could reach beyond the discovery level of research (1966). Ruppe proposed that in addition to detecting the presence (or absence) of archaeological remains and defining their spatial and temporal extent, it is possible to develop problem-oriented survey approaches that address a variety of questions. Although Ruppe was specifically concerned with surface surveys in the Southwest United States (1966:314-315), his observations also apply to the subsurface survey data from plantation sites in the Southeast. With the advent of such powerful tools as remote sensing and GIS (Geographic Information Systems), coupled with a landscape archaeology perspective, survey has become much more than reconnaissance.
