Who: Matt Tomaso and Carissa Scarpa
What: Feltville: Before and After David Felt
This presentation will provide an overview of New Jersey’s longest run community-based archaeology project within a village that no longer has a resident community. The senior author will present a retrospective discussion summarizing about 25 years’ worth of archaeological and historical work involving Union County’s “Deserted Village” which highlights the role of archaeology in constructing not just history and historical communities, but those of the present day. The most intensive archaeological investigation of the Feltville Archaeology Project began in 1999 upon the discovery of a 4-by 5-meter cellar hole, an 18th through 19th century rural homestead site on the margins of the village that came to be known as the Raddin-Badgley House Site. Carissa Scarpa, who participated in the subsequent Raddin-Badgeley field investigations from 2000 to 2004, recently completed the analysis and reporting for that site, and will discuss the site within the context of the Village’s history and, in particular, her reflections on what the material culture at the site might tell us about the lives of those who lived there.
