| Variant title | Illuminating the lighthouse an historical and archaeological examination of the causes and consequences of economic and social change at the Currituck Beach Light Station. |
| Summary | The purpose of this project was to gather historical and archaeological data to illuminate potential relationships between economic and social investment in lighthouse complexes, and enhance an understanding of the multitude of factors that drive the establishment and development of lighthouse communities. The community surrounding the Currituck Beach Light Station in Corolla, North Carolina served as a case study for this thesis. Historical and archaeological information was gathered from several sources and was assessed for correlation. Analysis discovered that most change occurring at the lighthouse compound and community was due to investment in technological advancement. Most recent changes resulted from resource preservation and tourism investments. |
