AIA Lecture: The Paleoindian Suvivalist
Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm
Location: UNF Archaeology Lab
Description: The Archaeological Institute of America Jacksonville Society will meet at noon on March 19 in Room 1205, Building 51 at the University of North Florida to hear Dr. James S. Dunbar, formerly with the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research, present “The Paleoindian survivalist: enduring the demise of keystone species, fire and surface water oscillations, and iceberg armadas off the Southeast coast.” The late Pleistocene Southeast was a warm thermal refuge protected from the ice age cooling and containing a large number and diversity of animal species. However, by the beginning of the Holocene, a great number of species became extinct. Many researchers have blamed human wild fire regimes, but others blame the failing populations of two keystone species. Still others cite the river system transformation from Pleistocene channel-fill to Holocene channel-cutting. Dr. Dunbar will try to answer the questions: What happened? What climate alterations, if any, took place when iceberg armadas grounded off the Charleston, South Carolina coast? The lecture is free and open to the public.
