Virtual Archaeology Conference To Focus On Arnold’s Bay, Lake Champlain

February 13, 2022 by Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

Arnold’s Bay Research ProjectThe Arnold’s Bay site on Lake Champlain is where, in 1776, General Benedict Arnold burned the remaining vessels of the American fleet to prevent their capture by the British during the last engagement in the northern theatre at the end of the American Revolution’s 1776 campaign season.

Research goals for this project were to use remote sensing techniques underwater and on land to define site boundaries and locate battlefield features. During the 2021 season, Museum archaeologists started survey work onsite, worked in collaboration with Stockbridge-Munsee Community and Abenaki leaders, and partnered with a Advanced Metal Detecting for the Archaeologist group to lead a course in metal detecting on the terrestrial portion of the battlefield.
