Stanley South

Stanley A. South (February 2, 1928 - March 20, 2016) was an American archaeologist who was a major proponent of the processual archaeology movement. South's major contributions to archaeology deal in helping to legitimize it as a more scientific endeavor. Additionally, South participated in the excavation and research of a number of historic sites throughout North and South Carolina, including Town Creek Indian Mound, Charles Towne Landing (SC), Brunswick Town, North Carolina, Bethabara Historic District (the first Moravian settlement in what is now Winston-Salem, NC), the John Bartlam site at Cain Hoy (SC), and Santa Elena (near Beaufort, SC), as well as Fort Dobbs and the Fayetteville Arsenal.

Stanley South was an important pioneer of the theoretical background of Historical archaeology. He first worked as state archaeologist in North Carolina and in 1969 became professor at the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of South Carolina.
