Hundreds of thousands of artifacts have been raised from the shipwreck of Queen Anne’s Revenge since full excavation began in 2005. Kimberly Kenyon of the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology is the lead archaeologist for the site of Blackbeard’s infamous flagship, formerly the slave ship La Concorde. Ms. Kenyon will share her experiences and insights into what the artifacts from this significant archaeological discovery reveal about the Golden Age of Piracy and how it intersected with the transatlantic slave trade.
