McCormick Taylor created a series of educational archaeology videos for PennDOT District 12 in order to mitigate the adverse effect on J.B. Fulton #2 Site, 36WH0458, in relation to the SR 0519/1055 Intersection Reconstruction Project. The videos highlight a nearby archaeological site in data recovery for the SR 0519 K20 Improvement Project.
The video series includes three videos ranging from three to five minutes in length. The intended purpose of the videos is to provide the results of agency-funded archaeological data and research as an easily digestible, readily available, and, ultimately referable format for the public, contractors, and related environmental agencies. McCormick Taylor provided project management, creative direction, videography, graphic design, video production, editing and animation, and script writing services for the videos.
To ensure that the content in each video was accurate and potentially useful, the videos were developed in close coordination with consulting party members, including PennDOT, the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission, Federal Highway Administration, Seneca Nation, Delaware Tribe THPO, Shawnee Tribe, Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma THPO, and the PA Archaeological Council.
The videos are focused on the following topics and information:
