Arnold's Bay Project
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2022
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Arnold's Bay Project," at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
In 2020, Lake Champlain Maritime Museum was awarded an NPS American Battlefield Protection Program grant to survey the Revolutionary War battlefield in Arnold’s Bay. General Benedict Arnold burned the remaining vessels of the American fleet at this site to prevent their capture by the British during the last engagement in the northern theatre at the end of the 1776 campaign season. Research goals for this project were to use remote sensing techniques underwater and on land to define site boundaries and locate battlefield features. The Museum worked in collaboration with Stockbridge-Munsee Community and Abenaki leaders and partnered with Advanced Metal Detecting for the Archaeologist group to lead a course in metal detecting on the terrestrial portion of the battlefield. This symposium was organized to showcase findings, methodology, and collaborations, and to celebrate new archaeological research at this site for the first time in 35 years
