AIA Lecture: Forgaing behavior of the "Original Forest Elephant"

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

Description: Well preserved dung deposits at the Page-Ladson and Latvis-Simpson sites in the Aucilla River provide evidence of mastodon (Mammut americanum) foraging patterns over a span of several thousand years. Plant species from the dung demonstrate mastodon food preferences and provide an indication of the ecosystemic influences of this original forest elephant, including acting as a keystone species. This in turn lends insights into the landscape and natural resources available to the "First Floridians," Paleoindians. The plant taxa in the dung samples also reflect a long history of co-evolution with mastodons and other extinct megamammals, with specific adaptations for protection and seed dispersal. In general, the results highlight the presence and some of the inter-species dynamics of an ancient no-analog forest community in Florida.

Dr. Lee Ann Newsom is an environmental archaeologist, paleoethnobotanist, and wood anatomist, and currently a visiting professor of Anthropology at Flagler College.
