Paddle to the People: Display Methods of the Lake Phelps Prehistoric Canoes
Author(s): Molly L. Trivelpiece
Year: 2020
Summary
This is a poster submission presented at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
Out of the 30 dugout canoes located in Lake Phelps, four canoes or canoe fragments have been recovered. Since their recovery in the 1980s, one or more of the dugouts have been on exhibit in multiple places around the state over the years, including such places as the North Carolina Museum of History, the welcome center at Pettigrew State Park, the maritime museum in Plymouth, NC, and the North Carolina Estuarium in Washington County. A comparative study of the current exhibits will show the similarities and differences between the canoes on display, and which seems to be the most effective for portraying information. Their current specifications for housing and display in regards to any future changes will also be included.
