Did you ever think of what it would be like to find and restore lost treasure? Elise Carroll, conservator for the NC Office of State Archaeology’s Queen Anne’s Revenge Conservation Lab in Greenville does just that, and she’ll tell you about it at the New Bern Historical Society’s Lunch and Learn on Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 11:30 am at Carolina Colours Pavillion, 3300 Waterscape Way in new Bern.
Finding canoes from so long ago is exciting, but what is done to conserve them? And what do we know about the people that made them? Elise Carrol will explain.
The lakes in North Carolina have been an important maritime resource for Native Americans for thousands of years. In the 1980s, 23 dugout canoes were discovered in and around Lake Phelps, and four were recovered for further study. Elise Carroll, conservator for the NC Office of State Archaeology’s Queen Anne’s Revenge Conservation Lab in Greenville, is working on the re-conservation of three out of the four canoes recovered from Lake Phelps, alongside the conservation of newly recovered canoe from Lake Waccamaw. She will discuss the history of Native American activity around the lakes, the discovery of the canoes, and the efforts to stabilize the canoes so that they are preserved for generations to come.
