William M. Kelso, C.B.E., Ph. D., F.S.A. (born 1941), often referred to as Bill Kelso,[1][2] is an American archaeologist specializing in Virginia's colonial period, particularly the Jamestown colony.

Personal life

A native of Lakeside, Ohio,[3] Kelso earned a B.A. in History from Baldwin-Wallace College, an M.A. in Early American History from the College of William and Mary, and a Ph.D in Historical Archaeology from Emory University.[4]

Career

He has served as director of archaeology at Carter's Grove, Monticello, and Poplar Forest, as well as Commissioner of Archaeology for the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission.[5] During his time at Monticello, he was one of the first to make early colonial slave life the focus of archaeological research.[6] Currently he serves as the Director of Research and Interpretation for the Preservation Virginia Jamestown Rediscovery project.

Rediscovery of Jamestown

In 1994, Kelso began directing excavations on Jamestown Island at the behest of Preservation Virginia. It was not long before the Jamestown Rediscovery archaeologists uncovered the footprint of the fort's southern palisade.[7] His 2004 book includes an in-depth study of the features uncovered during the excavations.

Awards

In 2007 Kelso received the J. C. Harrington Award, presented by the Society for Historical Archaeology for his life-time contributions to archaeology centered on scholarship.[8] In July, 2012, as a result of his work on Jamestown Island, he was awarded an Honorary Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II, whom he had escorted on her visit to Jamestown.
