CRA staff enjoy being able to give back and partner with the broader historical community. The Mabry-Hazen House, a historic house museum in Knoxville held a volunteer day last week to organize and inventory objects in the house's basement, and to create space there for interpreting the stories of enslaved and free African Americans who lived and worked there. CRA staff archaeologist Tracy Jenkins went over to help clean, sort, and move artifacts and furniture spanning almost 200 years of history, some older than the house itself!

On January 12, 2026, Zackery Hamilton-Cruze attended GIS Day at the West Virginia Legislature, hosted by the West Virginia Association of Geospatial Professionals (WVAGP). Zack became a member of WVAGP this past year as he works to complete his GIS Professional graduate certification through the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point. The event was well attended by other state and professional organizations including the WV DOT, WV DNR, WV Tax Division, Society of Professional Surveyors, various county parks and recreation organizations, WV Office of GIS Coordination, WV Geologic and Economic Survey, and other businesses including Woolpert and Eagleview. Many industry professionals and members of the general public were very interested in discussing the archaeology of West Virginia and learning the ways CRA is integrating remote sensing and spatial analysis into all phases of our work to provide better imagery and analysis for our clients and more robust archaeological data.

Dr. Meagan Dennison, a staff archaeologist from Cultural Resource Analysts’ Knoxville office, paid a special visit to the Webb School of Knoxville Robotics Team in September 2025. The Webb Robotics participates annually in the FIRST LEGO League STEM program, and 2025's theme centered on archaeology. Dr. Dennison spoke to the club about what a typical day in the field entails, such as carrying heavy equipment, traversing difficult terrain and vegetation, and recovering artifacts. After her visit, students designed different robot prototypes that could assist with these tasks and created poster presentations outlining how they came up with their designs. Dr. Dennison was invited back ahead of a regional competition for the students to share their prototypes. One model included Mars Rover-inspired wheels for navigating difficult terrain and a claw arm to assist in moving heavy objects. Another model was designed to carry heavy field supplies and was equipped with cushioned compartments for fragile artifacts. A third prototype was a pneumatic-powered pop-up canopy engineered to quickly protect sensitive excavations during inclement weather. Dr. Dennison was impressed with the students’ designs, and she and CRA wish the Webb Robotics team the best of luck in the East Tennessee Regional Championship!
