Over the period 1997-2021, I have written a number of reports for dissemination. Some of these have been within the context of academia or cultural resource management (reports produced during study or employment at Flinders University, East Carolina University, and the Tasmanian Heritage Office). At other times the reports have been written during employment by consultants (e.g. Cosmos Archaeology), or provided to fulfill grants or contracts awarded by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the American Battlefield Protection Programm (part of the National Park Service), NOAA (e.g. the Office of Ocean Exploration and Research), the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, or the Government of Bermuda and the Bermuda Maritime Museum (now the National Museum of Bermuda). In some cases reports were written to fulfill permitting requirements of agencies such as the Sistema Nacional de Areas de Conservacion (SINAC; Costa Rica), or North Carolina’s Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
Most of these reports can be downloaded from my Academia.edu page.
