South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism

For Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site archaeologist Nicole Isenbarger, archaeology is far more than digging in the dirt — it’s about uncovering the human stories hidden beneath the surface and helping people connect with the past in meaningful ways. Nicole’s work combines science, history, preservation, and public education. Her responsibilities range from conducting excavations and managing collections to researching artifacts, conserving materials, and creating educational programs for visitors. “I am an Anthropologist, which means I study people and human behavior,” Nicole said. “Archaeology is the method I use to study people in the past by examining the physical traces they left behind in their everyday lives.” She emphasizes that archaeology involves much more than excavation. Once artifacts are uncovered, the real work begins — cleaning, cataloging, researching, conserving, and interpreting what those objects reveal about daily life in the past. “What I love most is that archaeology is basically detective work,” she said. “We piece together clues from soil layers, artifact patterns, historical records, scientific data, and cultural trends to build interpretations about the people who left these remains behind.” Read more about Nicole here: https://lnkd.in/ePYaAByd Interested in a career with the SC State Parks?
