Kimberly Kenyon, head conservator for the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology’s Queen Anne’s Revenge Conservation Lab in Greenville, is overseeing the re-conservation of three dugout canoes excavated from Lake Phelps in the late 1980s. Kenyon will share the history of Native American activity around Lake Phelps, the discovery of dozens of canoes in the lake, and initial conservation measures taken for those recovered. She also will discuss the renewed efforts to stabilize the canoes so that they are preserved for generations to come.
