She excavated at Stenton in the early 1980s, finding animal bones and glass objects.[3] At the same time, she was the Director of the Division of Archaeology at the Atwater Kent Museum in Philadelphia.[4] She once excavated a toilet that was a part of a house that William Penn had lived in, the Slate Roof House.[5] Other note-able digs were at Fort Mifflin[6], Franklin Court[7], Hope Lodge[8], and throughout Philadelphia.[9]
She wrote a report for the Interagency Historic Architectural Services Program of the U.S. Department of Interior.[10]
