Luke Pecoraro is a historical archaeologist and director of curatorial services at the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation. He is responsible for research, collections management and exhibit development at Jamestown Settlement and the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown — two nationally-accredited living-history museums of 17th- and 18th-century Virginia administered by the foundation.
This presentation will highlight the changes in archaeological interpretation of artifacts and site patterns that have influenced the changing landscape of the Jamestown Settlement Museum’s living history programs and the growth of the permanent collection over its 60+ years of existence. The skilled craft of the settlement’s interpretive staff will also be discussed in the context of rediscovered industrial arts as revealed through archaeology.
