Who: Mark Nonestied

What: "Scattered Piles of Wreckage" The Maritime Legacy of Middlesex County

Middlesex County has a maritime history that stretches back to its earliest days. The navigable waterways were used to transport a variety of goods and people throughout the region and abroad. The Raritan River, Raritan Bay and Arthur Kill saw expanded use during the industrial revolution as vast amounts coal, clay, sand and other products were shipped in bulk from docks in Perth Amboy, South Amboy, Sayreville and New Brunswick. Maritime salvage operations were conducted in Perth Amboy by John H. Gregory whose "graveyard" of ships dotted the Perth Amboy waterfront. This maritime history is explored in an illustrated talk that also discusses what remnants of these vessels survive today.

Who: Richard Veit, Ph.D., Professor of Anthropology, Monmouth University

What: Searching for the “Lighthouse Fort and the Refugee Town” on Sandy Hook, Public Archaeology at a Storied Historical Site

ABSTRACT:

Since 1764 the Sandy Hook Lighthouse has guarded the treacherous approaches to New York Harbor. During the American Revolution, Continental forces unsuccessfully tried to deny the British control of the lighthouse. British troops and partisans captured Sandy Hook early in the war and, despite repeated raids by Continental forces, retained control of the Hook until the end of the conflict. Indeed, the British fortified the lighthouse and Loyalists, many of African descent, constructed a Refugee Town near the light which served as a base of operations for raiding parties along the Jersey shore. Monmouth University’s 2016 archaeological field school was a cooperative endeavor between a private university and the National Park Service, designed to investigate the lighthouse property while providing local residents with an opportunity to participate in archaeological fieldwork at a significant local historic site. The project resulted in an improved understanding of the site and built local interest in regional archaeology. It provides a model for public archaeology at a beloved nationally-significant historic site.

Candidates for Member-At-Large (2021-2024) (Vote for 2)

Jack Cresson

I have been an Active and Family member since 1968. I have been involved in collaborative, self-driven and CRM archaeological research in New Jersey since 1965, have served as the Chair of the ASNJ Research Grants Committee since its inception (1977), and have been a member of the Executive Board for nearly as long. I have always tried to support the ASNJ in any way I could.

Danielle Cathcart

I have over a decade of archaeological experience in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, working for academic and non-profit institutions, as well as in cultural resource management since 2010. As a former and active member of several professional organizations, I have participated in panel discussions, presented original research, and served as a steering committee chair for the CNEA. My interests and areas of expertise include material culture analysis and collections management. I am eager to share my ideas for expanding ASNJ’s public outreach efforts and advocate for use and preservation of archaeological collections in New Jersey. Thank you for your consideration.

Lauren Lembo

I have been involved in New Jersey archaeology since 2008 as a professional archaeologist in cultural resource management, a member of the ASNJ, and volunteer for preservation-focused projects and public lectures. I received an MA in Education from Central Michigan University, an MA in Anthropology from Monmouth University, and a Certificate in Global Social Archaeology from Kyushu University in Japan. I served as the 2nd Vice President (Membership) for the ASNJ between 2016 and 2019, and hope to once again be involved with assisting Board operations and facilitating community engagement with local history and archaeology. As a member of the ASNJ and a Member-at-Large, I look forward to promoting diverse perspectives and inclusive educational opportunities, and developing new relationships with communities and organizations. I currently serve as a programs coordinator for the Hunterdon County Cultural & Heritage Commission, a grassroots herbalist, and am a Registered Professional Archaeologist.

As a reminder, those of you who are members, please keep an eye out for an email about submitting your votes online in January 2021.

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.
