Since receiving the Cecelia Connelly Memorial Scholarship in Underwater Archaeology in 2009, Carrie earned her M.A. in nautical archaeology from Texas A&M University and is currently finishing a Ph.D. at Cornell University in classical archaeology. The scholarship enabled her to return to Turkey to participate in the Institute of Nautical Archaeology’s underwater excavation at Kızılburun, Turkey, diving to 42m to excavate and record the remains of a 1st-century BCE shipwreck. Carrie’s more recent research has taken her to Cyprus for the past two summers where she has been diving to survey the south-central coastline, primarily focused on identifying the remains of cultural material, such as stone anchors, which are indicative of trade networks that date back to the Late Bronze Age. She and her colleagues are developing a technique using photography and 3D modeling to obtain detailed measurements and estimates of mass for objects, such as stone anchors, without disturbing and removing the objects from the ocean floor. Carrie’s dissertation focuses on how to interpret underwater remains and artifacts found on shipwrecks by connecting the people who worked on the sea and in the harbors with anchors, cargoes, and solitary underwater finds in the ancient Mediterranean. While not underwater, she was part of the team to excavate the 18th-century ship found at the World Trade Center site in Manhattan in 2010 and has been working on analyzing the construction of this ship.
