William Henry Claflin, Jr.
- William Henry Claflin, Jr.
William Henry Claflin, Jr. was a wealthy Boston businessman and amateur archaeologist. He intermittently made minor excavations into the Stalling's Island site, a deep shell midden located in the Middle Savannah River in Columbia County, Georgia. His excavations led him to conclude the purpose of the site was for long-term occupation, not ceremonial use as originally thought. Through the Harvard Peabody Museum Claflin hired Harriet and Cornelius Cosgrove to continue excavations at the site in 1929. Upon the conclusion of the work done by the Cosgroves, Claflin analyzed their collections and combined it with his observations and earlier work and wrote a report published by the Peabody Museum.
