Here at Ft Toulouse / Ft Jackson we have remains from 3 French forts 
and one 1814 American fort. These overlap and range from ca 20% TO 90%  
remaining primarily due to erosion.

The replica, not reconstruction, of the 1751 French fort is located  
ca. 400 yards away from original site in a locale having no 
archaeological components present. The replica French fort is used for 
interp and living history. A factor is that the majority of the 
American fort  perimeter exists. It was an earth work and can be 
duplicated on its original site with earth deposited  and sealing 
archaeological deposits.

No argument about the replica at Ft Caroline  not the original site and 
it is (IIRC) 2/3 scale .  ( Was a ranger there in 1969)
