Tamara Thomsen is a Maritime Archaeologist with the Wisconsin Historical Society. Her research has resulted in the nomination of fifty-nine submerged sites to the National Register of Historic Places. She has received awards from the Association for Great Lakes Maritime History, the Great Lakes Shipwreck Preservation Society, and in 2014, she was inducted into the Women Divers Hall of Fame. In 2021 she discovered a cache of dugout canoes in Lake Mendota (Madison Wisconsin) that includes canoes which date amongst some of the oldest in eastern North America.
Sissel Schroeder is a professor of archaeology in the Anthropology Department at UW-Madison. Her research focuses on the archaeology of the southeastern United States and the Midwest, and has ranged from studying the earliest peoples in Wisconsin that archaeologists call Paleoindians to investigating sources of social power, networks of relationships, climate change, the environment, and other factors related to the emergence, florescence, and fragmentation of ancient complex societies and the persistence of people and their traditions.

The Wisconsin Dugout Canoe Project
Caribou - upstairs Sat 11:30am-12:15pm
As a result of an intensive effort to trace more than 90 dugout canoes reported from Wisconsin, we searched local museums, historical societies, and private collections across the state, and through scuba-diving expeditions. Wisconsin dugouts have a wide variation in style and manufacturing techniques and range in age from more than 4000 years old to the early 20th century. Canoes were made from varying wood types and those that date to the last 2,000 years correlate with the 19th century vegetation in the regions where they were found. We will present our analyses of dugout canoe size, style, raw material, and age, to show similarities and differences in dugouts through time and across space. Our efforts to document these dugouts include photogrammetry and handheld LiDAR to construct 3D models of the canoes.
