An amateur archaeologist has charged that th
USC archaeological team which discovered a Spa nisi
fort on Parris Talnnri usf>d his information nnH th*?i
claimed the discovery for their own.
The find, July 4, drew national attention for th
USC Institute of Archaeological Studies.
Amateur archaeologist Charles Gay, 32, said h
located the site in 1975. Gay claims he presented ;
map, written report and aerial photograph to the US<
Institute of Archaeological Studies, but the institut
officials insist they received only a map.
AN INSTITUTE spokesman said the map was nc
"scholarly research" and could not be used. US<
archaeology professor Stan South said, "Gay's ma;
never identified the San Felipe fort clearly." Sout
conceded that the fort site was congruent to Gay'
map directions, but that "the map wasn't much use t
us at that time."
South stated that Gay never published his materi;
nruf u/railri nnt niit his infnrmaHnn Hmim An c. nil
sheet, a formal record of archaeological sites i
South Carolina. Gay contends he was never offered
site sheet because of the alleged lack of research.
Gay said his files and aerial photographs were use<
although he received no credit for them. Gay said a
the 1975 meeting he was told that his discovery did no
warrant further discussion. "I was told by Direct?

the institute was not working on the San Felipe

ti was digging for artifacts from the Santa Elena site.

that the fort was San Felipe. South concluded, "We

s Fragments of Spanish pottery, plates and bowls

a fee receipt, and issuing a new
student ID, according to Peter
Haeseker, Student Government
president.
"The new ID will ease and speed
up voting and ticket pickup,
Haeseker said. "They'll probably <
lead to increased voting in student ;
elections."
Fee receipts will still be issued
but not required for participation
in any campus program, event or
use of a USC service, according to
tne proposal of a President's Panel i
Meeting from Marsha Duncan, ;
associate dean of Student Affairs. 1
