Healing Waters: Recreating and Contextualizing the Turn of the Century Site of Regent Spring in Excelsior Springs, Missouri (2018)
Beginning in 2015, the University of Missouri – St. Louis Archaeological Field School has taken place at the site of Regent Spring, a mineral water spring in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. Previous surveys of this and surrounding coeval sites have been lacking. This is partially due to the frequent flooding of the nearby Fishing River, which has altered the topography over the past century. During the excavation of the Regent Spring site, students were able to rediscover features of this turn of...
Insights from the Virginia Street Bridge Demolition and Replacement Project, Reno NV (2016)
