A Layered Landscape: The Past, Present, and Future of Archaeology at Fort Ticonderoga
Author(s): Margaret J Staudter

Summary
This is an abstract from the "Re-discovering the Archaeology Past and Future at Fort Ticonderoga" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
The recovery of artifacts at Fort Ticonderoga in the 20th century focused largely on the immediate area of the fort itself prior to reconstruction effort. The military complex at Fort Ticonderoga spanned across both sides of Lake Champlain and well beyond the walls of the fort itself. Only limited professional archaeology has been conducted on the site, leaving many future areas for archaeological analysis. This paper will explore the outstanding archaeological needs and challenges of a site that has much more to tell us about military life in the mid to late 18thcentury, as well as occupation in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and how we can learn from the archaeological work conducted over the past century.
