Shoreline Conference to be Held

The Roanoke Colonies Research Office and the National Park Service, Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, are jointly sponsoring the Fort Raleigh Shoreline Conference, an invitational working conference on shoreline erosion on cultural remains along the north shore of Roanoke Island. The conference, will be held at the Fort Raleigh Visitor Center on Friday, December 10,1993.

Participants will begin the conference with a tour of the shore between Dough's Point and Waterside Theatre, hear informal presentations on past research into cultural and natural processes, and discuss future research needs. Compilation of a working bibliography of research and information related to the erosion problem is one major goal of the conference.

Presentations summarizing past and present research on the geological, geographical, and archaeological aspects of north shore erosion and a current shoreline computer mapping project will be given by Stanley R. Riggs (geology), Robert Dolan (erosion patterns), David S. Phelps (archaeology), and Nick Luccketti (computer mapping).

Other invited participants include Louis Devorsey, John Ehrenhard, Ivor Noel-Hume, Gerald Johnson, Bennie Keel, William Kelso, and David Stick.
