ANCIENT HISTORIC NATIONAL TREASURE FOUND IN LEXINGTON IS CORROBORATE BY THREE MAJOR UNIVERSITY REPORTS

THE INDIAN HEAD, SOUTH CAROLINA'S ANCIENT MEETING PLACE HAS BEEN IN THE NEWS A GREAT DEAL LATELY. IT HAS MEANING ON MANY LEVELS TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND ALL ITS PEOPLES...

The discovery is also gaining national and international attention from a wide range of experts in various fields and those who just love history.

Reports by experts from the University of South Carolina, Eastern Carolina University and the University of Georgia all corroborate the location and purpose of The Indian Head as an ancient multi-tribal ceremonial meeting place for social and cultural exchange.

Member-researchers of the Big Pond Branch Historical Research Society have helped to bring this important history forward to combine with these and other reports from recognized experts in the fields of archaeology and anthropology. Michael Jeffcoat, a forensic historian, who currently heads the research team at BPBHRS has recently started to speak publically about the discovery. Recently, a free public lecture held on 11 March at Lexington, South Carolina, revealed just "the tip of the iceberg". 

A "GOODYEAR AND DANIEL" CLOVIS REPORT CORROBORATES JEFFCOAT’S and BPBHRS'S DISCOVERY OF THE INDIAN HEAD, SOUTH CAROLINA”S ANCIENT MEETING PLACE OF THE “CLOVIS”. The clovis are a people that lived more than 13,000 years ago according to this report. The report used data from 530 projectile points found in NC and SC that came from quarries in the two states.

"530 points (projectile points) of evidence help to point the way to The Indian Head... and its meaning... Daniel and Goodyear’s research without knowledge of The Indian Head confirm the location and purpose of The Indian Head as an ancient periodic meeting place for social and cultural exchange."

They concluded, “The high proportion of points foreign to the Congaree-Santee segment derived from raw material sources from the north and south, suggests a zone of human interaction where two macrobands aggregated periodically for social purposes and mate exchange. The possible travel way running the Piedmont in South Carolina may be another indication of interaction between the two possible macrobands.”
