PRESERVING OUR HERITAGE BY EXAM1NG THE PAST
By Bruce Barton
Archaelogy is the scientific study of the remains of the culture of a people.
A saying goes like this ...."We cannot know where we are going if we do not
know where we have -been..."
Archeologist Mark Hackbarth is helping the Coharie Indians, and all of
Sampson County, find out more about themselves. By finding out where they
came from ...they can. in a broad sociological sense, chart their course into the
future with more certitude.
Hackbarth is finishing up a one year study in Sampson County under the
auspices of the N.C. Commission of Indian Affairs and the N.C. Division of
Archives and History.
i
His final report is due in April after a review by the funding agencies.
Sampson County, where the majority of the Coharie Indians reside, are
matching the state funding by providing in kind services, including manpower,
office supplies and space.
The Coharie Intra-Tribal Council is working closely with Hackbarth and the
participating agencies, providing information and work sites.
Archeological sites unearthed by Hackbarth eventually may be listed on the
National Register of Archeological Sites.
"The purpose for listing any site on the National Register." Hackbarth
explains, "is to save it for future generations. The criteria is. is it worth saving."
So far. Hackbarth has uncovered 160 sites yielding cultural material such as
projectiles, tools and ornaments used by early inhabitants of the area. The first
45 sites were identified by farmers in the area and by the Coharie people. The
rest were uncovered through the archeologist's research strategy.
Locating sites, cataloging his finds and recording information about them on a
7-page site form is the way Hackbarth conducts his survey.
The completed site form includes photos, names of the present owners of the
property and information about the cultural affiliation and the time periods
presented by evidence at the site.
"I may find cultural material from any or all of four time periods at a given
site." Hackbarth says. "The periods are Paleo-lndian, Archaic. Woodland and
Mississippian.
"Very generally speaking, in the Paleo-lndian period all over the American
continent, the people were big game hunters, hunting such animals as bison. ?
camels and horses, which they brought down by group effort.
"In the Archaic period, the people were regional wanderers who hunted such
animals as the white tail deer.
"In the Woodland period, the people became semisedantary to fulltime
villagers. They had learned about agriculture and their diet included grapes and
berries.
"In the Mississippian period, of which I have found no evidence in Sampson
County, tht people were fulltime agriculturists and village dwellers with a
stratified society."
The earliest artifact Hackbarth has located In Sampson County is a projectile
point dating back from the early Archaic period, or around MOO to 7000 B.C. It
was unearthed in northwest Sampson County, near South River. Also found was
a Paleoindian projectile point called Clovls. The point Is similar lu points dated
al I MOO-MOO B.C. In other parts of the United Slates
"Ihe Indians were good land managers." the archaeologist says, "fhvy fired

UNC
Board of
Governors
visit
PSU
PEMBROKE - it was a first in
Pembroke last Friday when the board of
governors of the N.C. University system
visited Pembroke State University for
one of its regular meetings.
While in season on the PSU campus
the board adopted a resolution of
support for UNC President William
Friday for informing the state about the
role and mission of the university
system.
The News and Observer of Raleigh
raised questions in an editorial this
week about Friday's program, which
features interviews with state officials
and other public figures. The newspa
per said in its Friday edition there had
been suggestions the university system
president used the program to curry
political and legislative favor for UNC's
requests in the upcoming legislative
session.
Friday told the board of governors
Friday that the accusations are "wholly
false." He said the practice of inter
viewing the governor and legislative
leaders has been an established policy
of the UNC education public television
station. He said also that ?* he was
unaware the interview programs were
being promoted through advertising.
The newspaper had hinted that Friday
had put .pressure on the station to
promote the program.
The board of governors adopted the
resolution supporting the interview
programs offered by board member
E.B. Turner of Lumberton. Another
member. William Johnston of Harnett
County suggested the1>o?rd "lend our
support and our encouragement of this
policy" of the interview programs.
Board chairman John Jordan said the
charges by the newspaper "are com
pletely unjustified to the extent of being
ridiculous."

TRIBAL ENROLLMENT:
WHAT IS IT?
By an act of state legislature in 1953
and by an act of C ongress in 1956, all
the Indian people in Robeson and
adjoining counties were named the
Lumbee Indians of Robeson and adjoin
ing counties.
We all know who they were talking
about when these laws were passed but
there has never been any kind of
document that named each of those
individuals that affiliate as Lumbee
people.
We at Lumbee Regional Development
Association need your help in doing
that. We want to have a list of everyone

BUT A W ARMING REPRIEVE
IS LIKELY
Temperatures are expected to climb
into the 40s to day in North Carolina,
but frigid winter weather will return by
Sunday.
Highs today will be mostly in the 40s
with some 50s on the coast. Lows
tonight w ill be mostly in the 20s.
Some light snow is possible in the
northern mountains, but the National
Weather Service predicts little preci
pitation elsewhere.
The extended forecast calls for highs in
the 40s and 50s and lows in the 20s until
Sunday, when highs will dip back into
the 30s and lows into the teens.
Tuesday was cold. Record lows were
set in Raleigh (4 degrees), Wilmington
(7) and Cape Hattcras (17), and Boone
recorded a low of minus 4. Single
digit low temperatures were common
across the state and afternoon highs
were mostly in the upper 20s and 30s.
It was Cold in
Robeson County
Robeson County residents shivered
along with others across the region and
eastern part of the country Tuesday
morning as a record setting six degrees
was recorded in the city.
Throughout the East homeowners
experienced frozen water pipes and loss
of heat, vehicles crippled by freezing
weather, and the most unfortunate
suffered with not heat to combat the
cold.
