Forty centuries ago, an ancient group of people left their mark on the landscape of coastal South Carolina. Today, archaeologists from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, a dozen universities and the National Park Service search for clues about our earliest-known coastal dwellers. Perhaps our best clue to who they were is the many rings of shell they left behind. Whether the shells were placed deliberately or merely discarded into a midden is unknown, but “The Ring People” visits these rings, along with other remote sites, as scientists strive to understand more about these people and their place in our story.
