About Mr. Nicholas Luccketti, M.A., RPA

Mr. Nicholas Luccketti, M.A., RPA, grew up in Pearl River, N.Y., and has lived in Williamsburg since 1974.  He received his undergraduate degree from William & Mary. Subsequently, he did graduate studies in historical archaeology at Florida State University and received his Masters degree in American Studies from William & Mary.
 
He has been surveying and excavating VA. sites since 1974 for institutions such as the VA. Dept. of Historic Resources, the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, and the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA). At the James River Institute for Archaeology, Inc., he is responsible for preparing and managing budgets, directing Phase I, II, and III excavations, managing field crews, monitoring construction, creating predictive models, preparing reports, and representing clients. He served as the senior research archaeologist for five years at the APVA Jamestown Rediscovery Project that discovered the 1607 James Fort at Jamestown, Virginia. He was responsible for supervising and recording the excavations, writing the annual field reports, and was a co-author of three booklets produced by the APVA. He taught Historical Archaeology for four years as an adjunct faculty member at Christopher Newport University. As president and principal archaeologist at the James River Institute for Archaeology, Inc., Mr. Luccketti has been either the Principal Investigator or has directed staff archaeologists in the successful completion of more than 150 Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III projects that have been approved by the VA. Dept. of Historic Resources.
 
Mr. Luccketti has done archaeology work on a number of Ancient Planter sites including Jones at Day’s Point, Burdett on Old Plantation Creek, Pace’s Paines, George Sandys, Richard Buck, and a fort near the Nansemond River that may be related to either Michael Wilcox or John Wilkins. Also, this past summer he did an archaeological assessment for the Dept. of Historic Resources of a site in Poquoson that was the original settlement of Phettiplace Cloyse. He found numerous 17th-century features. Mr. Luccketti has a special interest in the Poquoson area as he did his Master’s thesis and the excavation of the 17th-century Joane Bennett/Turner/Tompkins site and later excavated the c. 1636 site of Augustine Warner.
