Project by project\, the remains of wh arves\, warehouses\, dwellings and houselots\, industries\, privies\, and four ship hull remnants emerged from the waterlogged depths at the Potomac River's edge. The level of preservation under these modern City blocks wa s astounding - 20th century slab-built structures nearly perfectly encapsu lated entire remains of historic waterfront neighborhoods. This talk will provide an update on the research and preservation of the ships' timbers a nd other archaeological finds. Even as individual features and artifact as semblages\, these finds are highly significant\, but when taken together a long with a wealth of historical documentary data\, a historic maritime la ndscape is taking form.\n\nDr. Eleanor Breen is a historical archaeologist with two decades of experience on sites in the mid-Atlantic region.

To study them\, each ship was disarticulated an d the individual timbers were laser scanned\, allowing researchers to virt ually reassemble the ships and develop theoretical reconstructions of how they would have looked when they were in use. These highly accurate digita l timber models were 3D printed and assembled by a master ship model maker \, further informing these reconstructions. The four ships are now on two different preservation journeys. The Hotel Indigo ship was sent to the Con servation Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University for conservation by freeze drying\, and the three Robinson Landing ships were submerged in a p ond at Ben Brenman Park this spring. Hear the latest findings and discover what was learned through digitally reconstructing the four ships. \n\nCh ristopher Dostal is an Assistant Professor with the Department of Anthropo logy's Nautical Archaeology Program at Texas A&M University\, where he is also the Director of the Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation\ , the Conservation Research Laboratory\, and the Director of the Analytica l Archaeology Laboratory in charge of scanning the four 18th century ships excavated in Alexandria.
