Welcome to Multi/Strata LLC

Hello, my name is Kevin Cullen, founder and principal archaeologist of Multi-Strata LLC.

With more than twenty years of archaeological fieldwork on three continents, I’ve participated in and directed dozens of public and private archaeological surveys on land and underwater.

Terrestrial Archaeology expertise include: Consulting, Excavation, Artifact Analysis, Public and Private Land Archaeology.

Underwater research includes over 20 years of experience documenting shipwreck and submerged cultural sites in the Great Lakes.

I’m also Deputy Director & Chief Curator at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum, in Manitowoc, WI. Curating exhibits and revealing stories through authentic artifacts is my passion.

Volunteering as a board member of the Wisconsin Underwater Archeological Association (WUAA) is also a passion, to provide education and access to maritime archaeology sites across the Badger State.
