Our speaker on April 17th will be Carol Weed who will talk on: “In the Drowned Lands: Adaptive Strategies to Near Swamp Environments.” “Archaeological and historical research has been completed periodically over the last 8 years in support of a permit application for a proposed natural gas pipeline in New York. A focus of research attention has been on the Project’s routing across and through the Drowned Lands of the Wallkill and Pochuck valleys in Orange County. To date, archaeological sites recommended eligible to the National Register of Historic Places have been identified immediately north of the Wallkill near County Route 1, on Merritts Island, and on Pine Island. These sites are discussed as are the historic elements which form the bases for both archaeological and historic districts. The talk concludes with a discussion of near swamp adaptive strategies in middle and northern New England.”
“Carol Weed has been a professional archaeologist for over 30 years. During this period, she has served as a Principal Investigator, Project Director, Project Manager, or Senior Archaeologist on cultural resources projects in Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and West Virginia. She joined VHB, Inc., Watertown, MA in October 2006 as their Sr. Archaeologist. Between 1993 and October 2006, she was a senior Project Manager with Gray & Pape, Inc., Cincinnati, OH.”
