Join us as Ryan Duggins presents “Submerged Landscape Reconstruction: Modeling Florida's Terminal Pleistocene/Early Holocene Site Distribution on the Continental Shelf.”
Recent advances in coastal and offshore bathymetric data, coupled with the computational power of GIS, provide the necessary platform to reconstruct submerged paleolandscapes. This has far reaching implications for submerged prehistoric survey as well as site modeling. As Florida sea levels have risen ~98m in the past 15,000 years, the extent of available landscape available to prehistoric populations has drastically changed. Florida Master Site File distribution data for Florida's Paleoindian and Early Archaic sites provide the dataset to analyze the relationship between landscape features and site distribution. This study aims to guide future offshore prehistoric research in the Gulf of Mexico by identifying patterns present in Florida's inland si
