Texas State anthropolgy student Clayton Eppler recently assisted State Marine Archeologist of Texas Amy Borgens in a project that located and validated the quantity of Emergency Fleet Corporation (EFC) shipwrecks for the purpose of protecting the shipwrecks under Texas law as archaeological sites.
Eppler was personally selected by Borgens for her project because of the numerous recommendations he received as well as the strong rapport he built working at Texas State’s Center for Archaeological Studies (CAS).
For a little more than a year, Eppler has been curating artifacts alongside the Artifacts Curation Manager Amy Reid at Texas State University as a part of the veteran's curation program. He immersed himself in his work studying archaeology collections and soon he was able to easily pick out prehistoric artifacts and debitage at various dig sites.
