Recovering Sandpoint’s Past: The Sand Creek Byway Archaeological Project

A team of archaeologists, headed by James Bard and Robert Weaver, designed and implemented a series of excavations which recovered large portions of Sandpoint’s buried past. This archaeological dig is arguably the largest project in Idaho’s history, presenting archaeologists with a unique set of stories about life in the earliest years of Sandpoint.

The Sandcreek Byway Archaeological Project has produced one of the largest archaeological collections in the Northwest. Almost 600,000 artifacts were recovered from this project; a project that has spanned over three sites, three years of excavation and two years of lab work. On loan from the University of Idaho, the Museum now hosts a display from this vast collection.

I’m a visual designer who uses a range of tools to communicate client messages to their audience.

My schooling is in painting and printmaking, but I quit a grad program to work on a trail crew in Southeast Alaska. This launched me into a career of communicating complicated concepts in simple ways. First as an interpretive ranger, then as an outdoor educator and field science support logistician, and now visually as a designer.
