Abstract

Dr. Kelli Carmean is a Professor and Chair of the EKU Anthropology, Sociology, & Social Work Department

"Creekside: An Archaeological Novel", her new historical novel, connects two story lines that link artifact and place, ancestors and descendants, and the present and the past. "Creekside" readers will learn about excavation techniques, the typical daily experiences at a dig, construction deadlines, report writing, artifact analysis, damage from looters and collectors, and more. The depiction of a frontier life includes early Euro-American settlement of the area, encounters with Shawnee defending their land, the rise of religious fundamentalism, and the persistent issue of class-based land ownership.

Comments

This interview was conducted by Carrie Cooper, former dean of Libraries at Eastern Kentucky University, in August 2010.
