Description: The Archaeological Institute of America--Jacksonville Society will meet at noon on Saturday Sept. 19 at the University of North Florida. A lecture by archaeologist and director of the Archaeological and Historical Conservancy, Inc., Robert Carr titled "The Miami Circles: Uncovering 3000 Years of Miami's History" will be presented. The lecture will describe archaeological discoveries made at the mouth of the Miami River. After the preservation of the Miami Circle on the south bank of the river in 1999, archaeological excavations were conducted on the north bank beginning in 2012. Over 2,000 post holes have been uncovered representing numerous Tequesta structures, including eleven circles. On the same parcel evidence of a Seminole War fort and the foundations of Miami’s first hotel, the Royal Palm, have been uncovered. These discoveries and their dilemmas for preservationists and developers will be discussed.
