The vessel was discovered during a Tennessee Department of Transportation project and was excavated and reconstructed by TDOT archaeologist Gary Barker.

The Annual Current Research in Tennessee Archaeology (CRITA) Meeting is usually held in Middle Tennessee at a state park, but it has been canceled for the second year in a row. Instead, for the first time, the Tennessee Division of Archaeology will hold a monthly virtual series of presentations. WUOT’s Chrissy Keuper spoke with Tennessee State Archaeologist Phil Hodge about the division, the lecture series, and the archaeological research that is under way statewide.
