The coastal area of South Carolina, known as the Lowcountry, was once the center of a thriving industry based on rice agriculture. Growing, processing and shipping rice were the primary occupations of most of the residents of colonial South Carolina from the time rice became the staple crop of the Lowcountry (within twenty years of the founding of the colony in 1670), until the industry died at the end of the nineteenth century.

520 $a The coastal area of South Carolina, known as the Lowcountry, was once the center of a thriving industry based on rice agriculture. Growing, processing and shipping rice were the primary occupations of most of the residents of colonial South Carolina from the time rice became the staple crop of the Lowcountry (within twenty years of the founding of the colony in 1670), until the industry died at the end of the nineteenth century.
520 $a This dissertation is a study of the relationship between the rice industry and Lowcountry society in the years 1760 through 1830. The study uses material recovered during archaeological excavations at a Lowcountry rice plantation in the Santee River region, north of Charleston, South Carolina. Occupation began at this plantation (called Waterhorn) in the 1680s and continued until the 1930s. This occupation spans all of the important developments in the Lowcountry rice industry, including several important technological breakthroughs that completely changed the nature of rice agriculture in the area.
520 $a In the middle of the eighteenth century, Lowcountry rice agriculturalists raised rice in inland swamp fields that were fed by freshwater streams and reservoirs. By the end of the eighteenth century, however, the inland swamp fields were replaced by rice fields located along the margins of tidal rivers. These fields were irrigated through a sophisticated series of canals and water gates that used the power of the tide to move water in and out of the fields.
520 $a This study examines this technological change in order to understand the economic and social conditions that encouraged its implementation, as well as the impact the new technology had on the lives of the people, both enslaved workers and plantation owners, who were part of the history of Waterhorn Plantation.
