Location: B. Calvin Jones Center for Archaeology at the Governor Martin House (1001 DeSoto Park Dr)
Description: Dr. Ryan Wheeler will present, “The Miami Circle: An Odyssey of Historic Preservation and Archaeology”. Discovered in 1998, the Miami Circle is a unique 38 foot in diameter feature of holes carved in limestone made by the Tequesta Indians, and perhaps earlier cultures, as part of a large structure, possibly a council house. The discovery of this site brought considerable media attention to the Brickell Point area and resulted in much discussion in both the popular media and historic preservation community about the need to preserve significant sites threatened by development. The site is preserved due to the cooperative efforts of federal and state agencies, as well as private entities. Please join us and learn more about the Miami Circle and the processes that took place to preserve it
Dr. Ryan Wheeler is State Archaeologist and Chief, Bureau of Archaeological Research. He played a significant role in the study and protection of the site and was recently honored by the Florida Anthropological Society for his work on the Miami Circle.

If you’ve ever had questions about how radiocarbon dating works or how scientists deal with variation in carbon levels over time, this is your chance to learn more!
ABSTRACT: Radiocarbon dating of carbon-bearing materials is the most widely used absolute dating tool for the latest Quaternary, covering the last approximately 100,000 years. Conversion of radiocarbon ages to calendar years involves several calibration and correction factors, each of which introduces a degree of uncertainty. Radiocarbon ages are calibrated to account for: (1) changes in the production rate of C-14 in the upper atmosphere, caused by fluctuations in solar radiation intensity and/or geomagnetic magnetic field strength (the DeVries Effect);

USF’s research in the Apalachicola Valley includes fieldwork adventure and brings alive 12,000 years of the human record. The first people, Paleo-Indians, settled off today’s main river. Climate change 10,000 years ago led to culture change in the Early Archaic period. The Late Archaic (4000+ years ago) brought the first pottery and social connections westward across the Gulf. Burial mounds with fancy artifacts appeared by Early Woodland times (ca. A.D. 100) and were abundant during Middle Woodland, through A.D. 650. Later, maize cultivation and political complexity characterized the late prehistoric Fort Walton-period chiefdoms. Spanish invaders did not enter the region but a few of their artifacts did. Population collapse may have led to in-migration of foreign natives after 1700. Later, Creeks from Alabama and Georgia moved

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

The project is important not only for the cultural materials it produced, but for the lessons learned; the results of which will undoubtedly influence future compliance work in Florida springs.

PAST Meeting: Presentation by Kenneth Sassaman
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Governor Martin House/Bureau of Archaeological Research
Description: The Lower Suwannee Archaeological Survey: Results of the First Five Years of Documenting a Drowning Record of Coastal Living
Kenneth E. Sassaman
University of Florida
Presentation to the Panhandle Archaeological Society at Tallahassee, February 3, 2015
An archaeological record of coastal living along the northern Gulf Coast of Florida is disappearing rapidly as the shoreline recedes with rising sea. Encased in this record is the material evidence of how people and ecosystems responded to sea-level rise over millennia. Since 2009, the Lower Suwannee Archaeological Survey of the University of Florida has been working to salvage vulnerable sites while developing information relevant to future challenges with environmental and social change. Among the results is increasing understanding of the integration of coastal communities through ritual practices that had practical value in mitigating the adverse effects of coastal change. Their solutions to uncertain futures are materialized in terraformed landscapes of mounds, ridges, and rings, as well as cemeteries and ritual objects that were relocated landward as communities responded to rising sea.

Description: Next Tuesday at 7pm PAST will hold their monthly meeting at the Governor Martin House. Please join us for an exciting presentation given by two FSU students on their experiemental archaeology project. FSU Students Haley Messer and Krissy Hogeweg started the Eto Perro Dugout Canoe Project in June of 2014 in order to determine the methods and time that would have been required to build a dugout canoe in both historic and prehistoric Florida. Until Spanish contact in the early 1500s, dugout canoes were made using only fire, stone, and shell. Post-contact canoes were constructed with iron tools like adzes and hatchets. Some historic period canoes implemented fire with iron, but others did not. In making the canoe, prehistoric and historic methods were used. Haley and Krissy completed the dugout canoe with the help of many volunteers in February of 2015 and it was determined that approximately 850 hours of work went into the project over the course of the nine months. On February 21st, Haley and Krissy launched the canoe at Maclay gardens here in Tallahassee, Florida. The launch was a huge success and the canoe sailed even better than expected. We will also be showing the video of the l

Melvan Tibbetts was a Union soldier occupying Pensacola for a portion of the Civil War. We are very lucky to have the 20 letters that he wrote home to his family in Maine. These letters supply a wealth of information about West Florida during the Civil War, but they also provide a strong sense of familiarity with Melvan himself. This presentation demonstrates how much of an author's personality is contained in historical documents and how this results in a more personal understanding of the past for the reader.

PAST Monthly Meeting
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Governor Martin House/Bureau of Archaeological Research
Description: Florida’s First Campers: The Significance of the Ryan-Harley Paleoindian Site
In May of 1996, Ryan and Harley Means discovered and reported a significant archaeological site to the State of Florida. Archaeological investigations conducted at the site in 1999 revealed an undisturbed Middle Paleoindian (~13,000-12,000 years B.P.) layer believed to represent a prehistoric campsite. Over 1,000 artifacts were recovered in less than 4 square meters, including stone tools and animal bones believed to have been discarded by prehistoric people. Amongst the artifacts discarded by Ryan-Harley’s Ice Age occupants, several spear points known as Suwannee points were recovered. Little is known about the Suwannee culture and Ryan-Harley is one of only two intact Suwannee sites in the Southeast United States. In 2015, investigations were renewed by Morgan Smith and Michael Waters from the Center for the Study of the First Americans at Texas A&M University. These excavations were aimed at better understanding the geologic context of the site, nature of the archaeological assemblage, and the Suwannee point making people who lived there.
Morgan will present on the results of these investigat

Midden, Mounds, and Mortuary Cults—Excavations at the Swift Creek and Weeden Island Byrd Hammock Site in Wakulla County, Florida

Geophysical surveys of village plazas, comparisons of ceramic stamped patterns, and other data show the presence of a intraregional social network with shared expressions of ideology and settlement patterning that underwent similar changes between the Middle and Late Woodland periods. One of the primary changes appears to be the introductio

“Dear Friends at Home”: Becoming Acquainted with a Civil War Soldier through His Letters Home
Melvan Tibbetts was a Union soldier occupying Pensacola for a portion of the Civil War. We are very lucky to have the 20 letters that he wrote home to his family in Maine. These letters supply a wealth of information about West Florida during the Civil War, but they also provide a strong sense of familiarity with Melvan himself. This presentation demonstrates how much of an author's personality is contained in historical documents and how this results in a more personal understanding of the past for the reader.

Location: Governor Martin House
Description: This meeting will be on December 6th at 7pm at the Governor Martin House. Mark your calendars now so you don't miss it! Jason O'Donoughue, Archaeologist with the Bureau of Archaeological Research will be presenting, “A secret and a lovely place…” The Past and Future of Florida’s Springs"
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. Histories of springs typically emphasize their role as watering holes where game and freshwater could be obtained or as sacred pools where ritual was conducted. However, recent archaeological investigations at several springs in the state are casting new light on these interpretations. Drawing on examples from the St. Johns River valley, 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 “th

Admiring the Hush Arbor
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:30 pm
Location: Goodwood Museum and Gardens
Description: Despite the incredible risk, enslaved people in America still resisted any way they could and are worthy of our admiration. Join us for period music and to hear from local experts, all framed by a traditional hush arbor.
Hush arbors (hush harbor, brush harbor, brush arbor) were events where slaves would retreat from the plantation in secret to congregate in secluded wooded areas. Through this incredible act of defiance, they practiced a version of Christianity that emphasized equality, retained African traditions, organized resistance, and shared news.
We will start at the front of the main house at Goodwood and move to the meeting area. At this point local experts will give short talks with musical interludes. Our speakers will be (in no particular order):
- Dr. Mark Butler (FAMU) to talk about music as a tool for survival and resistance.
- Dr. David Morgan (SEAC) to speak on archaeology's contribution to our understanding of slave resistance.
- Dr. Jamil Drake (FSU) to tell us about the religious practices at hush arbors and in general.
- TBA
Please note:
This program is NOT a religious service.
There is no evidence that a hush arbor ever occurred at Goodwood.

Lecture: On This Kind of Land: Cattle Country Patterns in Florida
Time: 6:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Mission San Luis
Description: Join us at Mission San Luis when historian Dr. Amy Turner Bushnell discusses raising and hunting cattle in Florida during the seventeenth century and beyond. Bushnell finds parallels to Early Florida’s cattle countries in the Greater Antilles, the Argentine Pampas, the Amazonian Llanos, the pine barrens of North America’s Eastern Woodlands, the arid reaches of Greater Mexico, and the savannas and marshes of Low Countries in the Americas.
Before the United States’ renowned West of trail drives and gunslingers, the Americas had seen three and a half centuries of cattle countries come and go. Florida’s cattle-raising past is an offshoot of the long history of Spanish influence in America.

Free Lecture: 1559 Luna Settlement on Pensacola Bay
Time: 6:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Mission San Luis, 2100 W. Tennessee St.
Description: Mission San Luis and the Panhandle Archaeological Society at Tallahassee - PAST are pleased to present the principal archaeological site investigator for the Tristán de Luna settlement, Dr. John Worth, who will provide an update on current research. Meet Dr. John Worth at the wine & cheese reception at 6 pm. His presentation starts at 6:30 pm.
In 1992, the discovery of the Emanuel Point I shipwreck in Pensacola Bay marked the first direct archaeological trace of the 1559-1561 colonial expedition of don Tristán de Luna y Arellano to Florida, the landing site of which had long been suspected to be somewhere on Pensacola Bay. In 2006, further survey by the University of West Florida resulted in the discovery of the Emanuel Point II wreck just four hundred meters away. And in 2015, the discovery of the Luna settlement site itself less than a kilometer away on the terrace overlooking both wrecks led to further archaeological survey and testing in 2016 and 2017, including two summer field schools at the 13-hectare site, along with the discovery of the Emanuel Point III wreck even closer to the shore.

Hush arbors (hush harbor, brush harbor, brush arbor) were events where slaves would retreat from the plantation in secret to congregate in secluded wooded areas. Through this incredible act of defiance, they practiced a version of Christianity that emphasized equality, retained African traditions, organized resistance, and shared news.
We will start at the front of the main house at Goodwood and move to the meeting area. At this point local experts will give short talks with interludes for music and poetry. Our speakers will be (in no particular order):
- TBA
- Adrianne Sams Walker to discuss what archaeology adds to our understanding of slave resistance.
- Dr. Nashid Madyun (FAMU) to talk about the modern relevance of slave resistance.
Please note:
This program is NOT a religious service.

Preservation Lunch and Learn
Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm
Location: Florida Trust for Historic Preservation
Description: In the 1960s the Florida land boom was on. In places like Cape Coral and Collier County, near Naples, the Gulf American Land Corporation aggressively sold drained-and sometimes undrained-plots of South Florida swamp as the landscape of the Florida dream. The vision of Golden Gate Estates as a thriving metropolis of half a million people never came to pass, but the actions of Gulf American reshaped both the nature of real estate development in the state and became one of the largest environmental restorations in Florida's history. This presentation, by Tim Parsons, Ph.D., is the story of Golden Gate Estates, and how Gulf American sold the dream of a Floridian paradise by the gallon and the economic and ecological consequences that followed: from wetland to failed development and back again.

Collections Preservation Workshop
Time: 2:00 pm til 4:00 pm

Description: ***Please note that the times listed here are in Central Time
When a natural disaster or other emergency strikes, collections held by museums, libraries, historical societies, arboreta, municipal offices, and other cultural institutions can be damaged or lost. Knowing how to respond immediately, whether to a pipe burst or a hurricane, can help safeguard collections and enable cultural institutions to continue fulfilling their mission. Following a major disaster, knowing how to apply for federal disaster assistance for much-needed recovery funding may make the difference between re-opening the doors or closing permanently.
Preservation experts from the Smithsonian Institution and FEMA will present a workshop for stewards of cultural institutions at the Bay County Public Library in Panama City on Tuesday afternoon, March 19, to discuss initial steps to take, mold and personal safety, salvage techniques, disaster planning, and response and recovery resources. The program will include a demonstration on how to handle and stabilize damaged objects and an explanation of the Public Assistance program, which provides federal disaster assistance to private nonprofits.

Before the English settled Jamestown and before the Spanish colonized St. Augustine, the harbor of Pensacola, Florida, was targeted by Spanish authorities as the perfect place to establish a town on the northern Gulf Coast. Only a few weeks after arrival, however, Tristán de Luna’s fleet was destroyed by a violent hurricane. Luna's land settlement site and three of his ships have been discovered in Pensacola and have been archaeologically investigated. This lecture presents this little-known episode of colonial history as well as the recent archaeology of the Luna expedition.
This presentation is most appropriate for teens and adults, but is family-friendly.

Tidally United
Time: 9:00 am til 4:00 pm
Location: Zoom Webinar
Description: The fifth Tidally United Summit is dedicated to celebrating collaborations made to date with land managers, local community members, and archaeologists/preservationists in approaching heritage at risk in Florida.

The first half of the Summit will showcase partnerships between Florida Public Archaeology Network staff and the land managers they have closely worked with over the two years for a Florida Department of State Special Category Grant to fund more in-depth study using the Heritage Monitoring Scout Program. During the second half of the Summit, we are inviting papers that intersect with community-based archaeology and heritage at risk case studies in Florida and beyond.
