Cubbage Pond Archeology Report
Public Outreach for Cultural Resources and Historic Preservation

When the Delaware Department of Transportation completed their
archaeological excavation of the Cubbage Mill site, they envisioned a final report that would both educate and excite the public. Remline was asked to develop a design concept for the report that would include full color illustrations depicting Cubbage Mill in the late 1800s.

After studying background data about the archeological site, Remline visited the Cubbage Mill site in Milford and several other nearby mills of the period. Since Cubbage is no longer standing, an archival photo was used as the model for the mill rendering and on-site photography was used to document the location where the mill stood.

Remline began by providing early sketches of the mill to the client review group to assure historical accuracy. Once the sketches were approved, the final "hand drawn" illustration was scanned into the computer and colorized. When completed, the Cubbage Mill Report was filled with sights that accurately portray the period, from the bustling horse-drawn wagons and carriage to the wheat gathered in a nearby field. These images succeed in capturing the flavor of the period and accurately convey the report's message.
