  • Bibliography of North Carolina Underwater Archaeology
    i BIBLIOGRAPHY OF NORTH CAROLINA UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY Compiled by Barbara Lynn Brooks, Ann M. Merriman, Madeline P. Spencer, and Mark Wilde-Ramsing Underwater Archaeology Branch North Carolina Division of Archives and History April 2009 ii FOREWARD In the forty-five years since the salvage of the Modern Greece, an event that marks the beginning of underwater archaeology in North Carolina, there has been a steady growth in efforts to document the state’s maritime history through underwater research. Nearly two dozen professionals and technicians are now employed at the North Carolina Underwater Archaeology Branch (N.C. UAB), the North Carolina Maritime Museum (NCMM), the Wilmington District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), and East Carolina University’s (ECU) Program in Maritime Studies. Several North Carolina companies are currently involved in conducting underwater archaeological surveys, site assessments, and excavations for environmental review purposes and a number of individuals and groups are conducting ship search and recovery operations under the UAB permit system. The results of these activities can be found in the pages that follow. They contain report references for all projects involving the location and documentation of physical remains pertaining to cultural activities within North Carolina waters. Each reference is organized by the location within which the reported investigation took place. The Bibliography is divided into two geographical sections: Region and Body of Water. The Region section encompasses studies that are non-specific and cover broad areas or areas lying outside the state's three-mile limit, for example Cape Hatteras Area. The Body of Water section contains references organized by defined geographic areas.

  • Abstract Postmortem Archaeology: Reinterpreting Salvaged Sites Using the CSS Neuse As a Case Study by Chelsea Hauck April 2016 Director: Dr
    Abstract Postmortem Archaeology: Reinterpreting Salvaged Sites using the CSS Neuse as a Case Study By Chelsea Hauck April 2016 Director: Dr. Bradley Rodgers Department of History, Program in Maritime Studies Traditionally, salvaged wreck sites are disregarded by academia because contextual data are lost without detailed measured site maps. When these sites are ignored, the information that can be gained from individual artifacts and the collection as a whole is lost. Archaeologists have attempted to recreate salvaged sites to rediscover that contextual information. This thesis will examine a new set of methods called “postmortem” archaeology which will be applied to the American Civil War wreck of the CSS Neuse, which is the largest single collection of artifacts from a Confederate vessel. There are four issues affecting contextual data that have arisen since the salvage of the CSS Neuse wreck site: 1) how the ship was scuttled, 2) contamination by additional artifacts during excavation, 3) looting of artifacts during excavation, and 4) the timeline of the removal of the cannons. These four issues will serve as examples of broader problems that affect salvaged sites and possible methodologies that can be used to recreate the site. The “postmortem” methodology used to study the CSS Neuse can then be broadened and applied to other salvaged sites.

Stephen Davis, Jr. – Co-Editor North Carolina Archaeological Council Publication Number 30 2011 Available online at: http://www.rla.unc.edu/NCAC/Publications/NCAC30/index.html FORTY YEARS BENEATH THE WAVES: UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY IN NORTH CAROLINA Richard W. Lawrence Over the past forty-five years, North Carolina‘s underwater archaeology program has undergone dramatic growth. For its first decade the program consisted of one or two staff members operating a modest preservation laboratory on the grounds of the Fort Fisher State Historic Site. By 2006, the state‘s Underwater Archaeology Branch (UAB) boasted a ten-person permanent staff located at three separate facilities in eastern North Carolina. The growth of the program has been an evolutionary process. Like its natural counterpart, that process has progressed in fits and starts largely influenced by external events. Some of the program‘s turning points include the salvage of artifacts from sunken Civil War blockade- runners in the 1960s, the discovery of the USS Monitor off Cape Hatteras in 1973, integration into the state‘s archaeology and historic preservation program in the 1980s, and, most recently, the 1996 discovery of a shipwreck at Beaufort Inlet believed to be the pirate Blackbeard‘s flagship, Queen Anne’s Revenge. At each of these junctures increased levels of interest from the public, the media, and administrators in Raleigh allowed the UAB to expand its capabilities and the scope of its mission. WEIGHING ANCHOR – 1962 TO 1972 The Blockade-Runner Modern Greece North Carolina‘s initial involvement with historic shipwrecks came about quite by chance.
