Artifacts

Charles R. Ewen received his B.A. at the University of Minnesota (1978), M.A. at Florida State (1983), and Ph.D. at the University of Florida (1987). After graduation, he codirected excavations at the Governor Martin site (the site of Hernando de Soto's first winter encampment) for the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research. The next stop was Arkansas, where he was an assistant professor and director of the Arkansas Archeological Survey's Sponsored Research Program. He joined the faculty of East Carolina University (ECU) in 1994, where he is a professor in the Anthropology Department. He also serves as director of the Phelps Archaeology Lab on the ECU campus. His research interests include archaeological method and theory, cultural resource management, and historical archaeology, specifically the Contact and Colonial periods. Like most archaeologists, however, circumstances have led him to work on nearly every kind of site, from prehistoric villages to Civil War fortifications and twentieth-century homesteads. He has established a research program in eastern North Carolina, conducting projects at Tryon Palace Historic Sites and Gardens, Hope Plantation, Historic Edenton, and the Newbold-White house.Ewen, Charles Robin is the author of 'Artifacts' with ISBN 9780759100220 and ISBN 0759100225.
