Excavation staff
Over the years Ted has built up a professional team for archaeological excavation and artifact cataloguing. Each person has a degree
in archaeology and/or is eligible for membership to the Australian Association of Consulting Archaeologists Inc.
Ted has also provided training and experience for other people, who have taken up archaeological excavation without a degree.
Jeanne Harris
Artifact cataloguing.
Jeanne Harris completes most of the artifact cataloguing from EHA excavations. She qualified with a BA degree in Anthropology from Ohio State
University (1975) with 2 years of course work towards her MA in Anthropology. Jeanne specialises in managing the artifact analysis for large
projects and was the laboratory manager for a large US-based cultural resources firm. In this role she was responsible for developing the artifact
database application used by the State of Ohio and other states throughout the region.
Relocating to Australia in 2000, Jeanne has expertise in most artefact categories, but is able to assemble specialist teams, where required, for
example, for faunal, leather, and industrial analyses.
Jeanne is an independent consultant and is based on the NSW South Coast. You can contact Jeanne at Urban Analysts on 0410 277 842.
Volunteers
Since 1989 EHA has provided opportunities for volunteers to take part in excavations. Public participation is an important part of
our work. See volunteers.
