Description: Archaeology On Tap presents Dr. Jason O'Donoughue speaking on his research, The Past and Future of Florida’s Springs! Join us for good conversation and beer!
“Florida houses the largest concentration of artesian springs in the world, many of which are besieged by the impacts of development. Debate rages over how best to balance conservation, recreation, and sustainable groundwater use. Despite their abundance, relatively little is known about past human use of these places. Drawing on examples from across Florida, I outline the environmental and cultural history of Florida’s springs and argue that archaeology can help us better understand contemporary threats to these places and enhance efforts to conserve and restore what Archie Carr called “the singular blessing of the Florida landscape.” - Dr. Jason O’Donoughue
