This paper seeks to compare the 3D modeling techniques of photogrammetry and structured light to create 3D models of propellers found on a variety of shipwrecks. Additionally, this project seeks to determine best practices for 3D printing in situ heritage on submerged archaeological sites, focusing particularly on structural elements. This project focuses on three main case studies: Montana at Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, and two shipwreck sites near the Outer Banks of North...
Bodies Lying in State: Nationalism, the Past, and Identity (2013)

This is evidenced in the differing display (or lack thereof) of human remains in the national museums of Denmark, Egypt, and the United States. In each case, the identification of...

The National Park Service has a developing Traditional Knowledge Program that has increasingly been used in tandem with more formal park programming. This situation has been most recently deployed through youth programming. The Northeast Regional Office continues to use through its Tribal Affairs and Archaeology...
By River, By Road, and By Rail (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Roads, Rivers, Rails and Trails (and more): The Archaeology of Linear Historic Properties" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. In St. Johns County, there are 64 historic linear resources recorded in the Florida Master Site File, including bridges, roads, and railways. Linear resources played an important part in our history. The rivers, roads, and railways brought people to settle and visit the area. The rivers...
Curating Rhode Island’s History: Lessons in Accountability and the Rehabilitation of State-owned Collections (2016)
As we celebrate the anniversary of the NHPA, many states are now coming to terms with the immensity of the archaeological collections gathered on their behalf over the past fifty years. While academics and professionals have become experts at minimizing the effects of development on buried and extant cultural resources through archaeological excavation, these endeavors have amassed a staggering amount of objects and information that too often languishes in deteriorating bags and boxes—poorly...
