In 2012, the Southeast Archeological Center embarked on an ancient survey of 17 acres of Cowpens National Battlefield looking for General Daniel Morgan's January 16th camp. The steel detector survey produced several artifacts that were identified as belonging from the Battle of Cowpens, seven musket spheres and 3 lead shot, every one of which had been terminated. The projectiles were recouped in the present analyzed location of General Morgan's Camp suggesting that a section of the battle itself most likely took place in this location and is then not the location of General Morgan's Camp. The triumph at Cowpens launched a chain of events for the British during their Southern Campaign that caused General Cornwallis's capitulation at Yorktown and the Independence of the freshly formed United States of America. As an outcome of these findings SEAC and COWP are collaborating to continue surveying the combat zone to get a better understanding of the battles events and the extents of the field of battle.
