Archaeology at Curles Neck 44HE388
The plantation core of Curles Neck (44HE388) was investigated over the course of 13 excavation seasons from 1984 to 1997 by archaeologists, field school students and volunteers from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) under the direction of L. Daniel Mouer. The site, located along the James River in Henrico County, is privately owned and at the time of excavations was in pasture. Architectural and landscape features, as well as features associated with domestic activities, have been associated with five periods of occupation, spanning the period from 1630 to 1860.
