Q&A with Archaeologist David Bush

What happens to the artifacts after you've dug them up? Any thoughts about an on-site museum?

David Bush: The artifacts are currently being curated at Heidelberg College at the Center for Historic and Military Archaeology facility. The landowner has a long-term loan agreement with the college. It is difficult to speculate about an on-site museum, although I would personally love to see one. However, the island is privately owned and the landowners are not excited about having lots of tourists on the island. The perfect place for one would be in the town of Marblehead, which could also serve as a place to stage visits to the island.
