of ways to study the 1500 to

The plans for the April

The historical study is

prised of Bertie, Chowan,

historians to study the
original English proprietary
colonies in the state which
now comprise the 16 coun
ties around the Albemarle
Sound.
Dr. Thomas C. Par
ramore, professor at
Meredith College and
former Winton native, will
be the principal investigator
and chief historian of the
project. He will be assisted
by Barbara L. Wilson of Arl
ington, Virginia, who is
presently completing her
doctoral work at Johns
Hopkins University in
Baltimore, and whose thesis
involves the early leader
ship of the Albemarle
Region of North Carolina.

ponent, directed by Dr. Jof
fre Coe, professor and direc
tor of the Research
Laboratories of Anthro
pology, of the University of
North Carolina at Chapel
Hill. Preliminary site work
has already started within
the six-county area by Jack
Wilson and Nick Coleman,
UNC-CH archaeology
research graduate students.
Six localities distributed
throughout the focal area
are: Mt. Pleasant-Swain's
Mill area; Lower Salmon
Creek; Durant's Neck;
Wyanoke Ferry; Newbegun
Creek; and Wingfield.
The historians will be
responsible for description
and analysis of the Euro
pean, Indian and African
cultures of this region, to be
supplemented by the ar
chaeological findings. The
scholarly specialties re
quired by the National En
dowment for the Humanities
will be interrelated toward
the goal of compiling and
analyzing the complete ear
ly history of the region
dating from 1500 to 1730.
This initial phase of the
long range project covers a
period of 3 years, of which
the 837,188 grant is first year
funding. The University of
North Carolina is con
tributing on a cost-sharing
basis, with , a first year
budgeted amount of approx
imately 810,000, of which the
North Carolina Internship
Program is providing 13
weeks of intership ex
perience for the two
: graduate students at an ap
proximate cost of 83,250 with
a possible option of renewal
for 13 weeks for the first
year's phase of the study.
