C. 27602 BOGGAN-HAMMOND HOUSE DEDICATED May 9 was the date of the dedication of the Boggan-Hammond House in Wadesboro and of the Cedar Creek Meeting House in Lilesville. The resto­ rations have been continuing projects of the Anson County Historical Society. Dr. H. G. Jones was the main speaker for the dedication ceremonies; Mr. Linn D. Garibaldi, president of the Anson group, welcomed dignitaries and guests. Taking part in the Lilesville program were the Reverend 0. M. Burck­ halter, pastor of the Lilesville Baptist Church (the congregation of which donated the meetinghouse to the society), Congressman A. Paul Kitchin, Lieutenant Governor H. Pat Taylor, Jr., and Representative Fred Mills. Par­ ticipants in the Wadesboro dedication, in addition to those mentioned above, were the Reverends Joseph Lash, Cherry Livingston, Ernest Page, James B. Sides, and H. Howard Smith. The oldest wing of the Boggan-Hammond House is thought to be the first house built in Wadesboro.

FOUR MORE NORTH CAROLINA STRUCTURES BECOME NATIONAL LANDMARKS Four North Carolina buildings were designated National Historic Landmarks by the Department of the Interior in May. They are the "Cupola" House and the Chowan County Courthouse in Edenton, the Palmer-Marsh House in Bath, and the Single Brothers House in Old Salem. Each of the buildings has been adjudged as possessing unusual architectural importance. This brings to thirteen the number of National Historic Landmarks in North Carolina. The others, representing varying themes, are the Biltmore Estate, Buncombe County; Reed Gold l\1ine, Cabarrus County; Duke Homestead and Tobacco Factory, Durham County; Old Salem Historic District, Forsyth County; Salem Tavern, Forsyth County; Carl Sandburg Home, Henderson County; Town Creek Indian Mound State Historic Site, l\~untgomery County; Fort Fisher State Historic Site, New Hanover County; and Old East Buil:ling, University of North Carolina, Orange County. Historic places are designated landmarks through studies conducted by the National Park Service. Sites so selected automatically are placed on the Na­ tional Register of Historic Places. 74 SIX MORE SITES PLACED ON NATIONAL REGISTER Six structures in North Carolina have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places since the last issue of Carolina Comments. Notification of formal entry on the register was made by the Department of the Interior to Dr. H. G. Jones, North Carolina's state liaison officer with the federal agency. The places are Historic "Hope," Bertie County; Burke County Courthouse, Morganton; Bunker Hill Covered Bridge, Catawba County; "Blandwood" (Governor Morehead Home), Guilford County; Hezekiah Alexander House, Mecklenburg County; and Thalian Hall, New Hanover County.

    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.

McNutt of San Antonio, Texas, became administrator of the North Carolina Museum of History on February 15, 1995. Dr. McNutt, a native Texan, holds an undergraduate degree from Harvard University and an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin. Most recently, he served as assistant director for planning at the Institute of Texan Cultures in San Antonio. Dr. McNutt has been on the staff of the institute since 1982; he began as a research associate and rose through the ranks as the facility expanded. His past duties involved a host of professional museum tasks. In announcing Dr. McNutt's appointment, Dr. William S.
