Each year, researchers and archaeologists with Lake Champlain Maritime Museum come together to share new research, developments, and discoveries from their work in Lake Champlain in a virtual summit that is open and free for all to attend. The third annual Virtual Archaeology Conference will be held February 15, 2024, from 1 until 4 pm.
As part of the 2024 conference, the Museum’s team will explore big questions through the lens of their ongoing archaeological work in Arnold’s Bay such as: how do archaeologists make the call on what to conserve and what not to conserve?
How can past looting and excavations impact a current project? What happened to Benedict Arnold’s 1776 flagship, the row galley Congress, after its abandonment?
What can we learn from artifacts that were looted or excavated by avocational archaeologists?
What can the hull of the Congress tell us about the construction of the colonial naval fleet on Lake Champlain and specifically row galleys?
A full schedule and list of presenters will be released soon. You can register for free in advance to receive the link to join this year’s event here.
This virtual conference will be presented on Zoom.
