Although they were subjects of the Spanish Crown, they and all other residents of Florida were dragged unwilling into a conflict between the United States and Britain, the War of 1812. Though Spain was never an official party to the war, settlers in Florida endured as much ruin and havoc as anyone living in Canada or the Chesapeake. Dr. Cusick, curator of the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History at the University of Florida, will explain how a neutral colony could find itself in the middle of bloodshed and pillage. It was, 'the other War of 1812'. The program is free for museum members, with a suggested donation of $5 for nonmembers.

"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 and settlement were irreparably damaged by a violent hurricane. In recent years, three of Luna’s ships have been discovered in Pensacola Bay and the settlement site was discovered on a nearby landform. Join us for an exploration of the history of this ill-fated settlement attempt, as well as the exciting archaeology taking place on land and underwater!”

Did the first Spanish footsteps on American shores sow the seeds of the American Dream? We begin our exploration of these questions where it all began – St. Augustine.

Dr. Amy Turner Bushnell
From the early years of the 18th-C through the U.S. Civil War, citizens of Florida lived under the threat of war, or war itself, & the constant presence of the military. This fighting or threat of conflict bound all peoples of Fl: whites, blacks, native Americans, free or enslaved, & it is the similarities of their lives & their common drive to adapt that serve as the focus of this enlightening program.
"Invaders, Privateers, Runaways, Renegades, & St. Augustine's Townspeople In 18th-Century La Florida"
Dr. Susan Parker
The residents of Spain's colony of La Florida were right in the middle of the "long century" of war. In the 1700s troops from the British colonies of South Carolina & Georgia invaded La Florida & laid siege to its capital of St. Augustine. Enemy privateers confiscated goods bound for Florida, while Spanish privateers countered with their own heists of food & money for St. Augustine. Indians & blacks ran from rival colonies to find refuge in Florida. Renegades, opportunists & scofflaws claimed whatever nationality benefited them at the moment.

Dr. Jerald T. Milanich, University of Florida
The missions of La Florida, Spain’s name for the southeastern United States, have been one of history’s best kept secrets. Beginning in the 1560’s, Jesuit and Franciscan friars established more than 150 missions among native peoples, primarily in what is now coastal Georgia and northern Florida. By the 1760’s, only two remained. Today, archaeology and history are the tools used to give voice to those long forgotten, a process ably described in this moving presentation.

Dr. Jerald T. Milanich, University of Florida
By the time of the founding of Jamestown in 1607, St. Augustine was already up for urban renewal. This fact, and Spain’s 16th century activities in the southeast in general, is largely overlooked by our predominantly English language textbooks. This program by Dr. Milanich explores this period of early colonialization with particular emphasis on the impact on the American Indian societies.

Description: "In Search of the 16th Century In St. Augustine"
Sarah E. Miller, Florida Public Archaeology Network
Walking the streets of St. Augustine can confuse the visitor in search of the 16th century, but 500 year old sites are there—often beneath their feet. This presentation will synthesize work done by archaeologists over the past century, focus on small objects that bring ordinary people in the 16th century to life, and touch on the public benefit of the city’s twenty year old archaeological ordinance. Those planning to partake in the city's 450th birthday party in 2015 can take home a walking tour map developed by our very own city archaeologist, Carl Halbirt.
This event is free and open to the public.

Description: Humans have utilized fire for over 500,000 years. Since its capture and domestication, fire has transformed human civilization, affecting diet, material culture, even our anatomy, and its control is frequently cited as one of the demarcations separating "human" from "nonhuman." Prehistoric Floridians relied heavily on fire, and we see its application in numerous aspects of their culture. But fire has played a fundamental role within our state's prehistory and history. From habitat maintenance to major urban conflagrations, Florida has had a close affinity with fire. This presentation will explore the numerous ways fire has transformed our state.

At least six of these cemeteries have been relocated and partly restudied by archaeologists and bioarchaeologists, and this talk will consider what we have learned from this work over the past 75 years"

Decades later, following several years of deepwater remote sensing investigations, the bomber was raised in September 1985. This free program will trace the history of the British aircraft, its combat missions, the aircraft's recovery and restoration. The speaker will also interpret the airplane's discovery in the context of the search for the legendary "Nessie" during the decades of the 1960s-1980s, the heyday of the quest to understand the "Loch Ness monster" cryptozoological mystery.

Description: The late Pleistocene Southeast had the greatest number and diversity of animal species compared to the rest of North America. By the beginning of the Holocene, the extinction or extirpation of species was greatest in the Southeast. Although many researchers have theorized that wild fire regimes increased due to humans, there is another, more subtle explanation. At the same time many Florida river systems transformed from anastomosing to entrenched channel systems during the Holocene. Could it have been the diminishing population of two keystone species affected by humans, rather than people themselves, that were the inadvertent agents of habitat change?

Location: Flagler Room, Flagler College
Description: n a presentation by Flagler College Professor of Religion Dr. Timothy Johnson and University at Albany-SUNY Professor of Anthropology Dr. George Aaron Broadwell, the levels of literacy of these early people are shown to be higher and more independent from European influences than previously thought.
The first segment of the talk, presented by Dr. Johnson, is entitled “The Devil is in(to) the Details: Confessions and Timucuan Education.” Johnson will discuss the efforts of Spanish missionary Fray Francisco Pareja. Through Pareja’s works, the Timucua were engaged in an education system that combined texts in Spanish, Latin, and Timucuan.
Broadwell will continue the presentation with a talk entitled “Shadow Authors: The Texts of the Earliest Indigenous Florida Writers,” which will look at a set of bilingual Timucua-Spanish Christian materials that date from 1612-1635. Broadwell discovered that the Timucua versions of the texts have subtly different content than the Spanish parallels. The conclusion, argues Broadwell, is that the Spanish were not sole authors of the texts—unnamed Timucua writers were actually co-authors.

Description: This year is the 450th anniversary of the establishment of Fort Caroline by the French in 1564. After all this time, Fort Caroline has recently generated controversy regarding its actual location. Tradition has it located on the St. John's River in Jacksonville, but a group of archaeologists has proposed that it was actually built on the Altamaha River in Georgia. Perhaps the controversy will be resolved at the debate of the issue presented by the Archaeological Institute of America--Jacksonville Society. Dr. Robert (Buzz) Thunen from UNF will present the case for the St. John's River in Jacksonville, and Dr. Anita Spring and Dr. Fletcher Crowe from the University of Florida will present the case for the Altamaha River in Georgia. Dr. Crowe will have spent the summer excavating the area in Georgia where he believes Fort Caroline was built and will reveal the results of that research. The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served in the Archaeology Lab both before and after the presentation. On Saturday, parking is free and the faculty/staff/vendor spaces are open to everyone.

Description: . Morag M. Kersel, an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at DePaul University will present a lecture titled \"Mission Impossible? Tracking the Lives of Early Bronze Age Pots from the Dead Sea Plain, Jordon. Early Bronze Age (3600-2000 BCE) artifacts from the Dead Sea Plain in Jordan have long held a fascination for locals, pilgrims, and tourists, which can often be tied to a substantiation of faith based on the material past. These pots have led varied lives as grave goods, as excavated artifacts, as looted objects, and as collected items revered in private homes and in exhibition cases in museums. Demand for these archaeological objects has resulted in decades of illegal excavation and the destruction of the archaeological landscape. Tracking the movement of these pots is an important aspect of understanding the emergence of prehistoric urbanism and increasing social complexity at these early mortuary and domestic landscapes. Piecing together how artifacts go from the ground to the consumer is at times an impossible mission – or is it??

Description: "Fishing and the New World: An examination of how fish helped the exploration, colonization, and growth of America"
Presented by: Dr. Edward McGinley
As Europeans were exploring new lands during the 1500s and onward, new fishing grounds served not only as a resource to be exploited, but also allowed for the development of outposts and colonies in the New World. Indeed, the ocean resources were so vast at this time, they seemed inexhaustible to early Americans, often in direct contrast to what they were familiar with in their home countries. The practice of fishing became ingrained in early Americans and helped this country to develop. This talk will look at how specific species of fish helped to build this country, as well as the current status of these iconic fish.

Description: "The Steel Crown: Indigenous Responses to Exploration"
Presented by: Lori Lee
Exploration involves the investigation of unknown regions. Unknown, that is, to explorers. Yet most of these regions were both known and inhabited by indigenous peoples. Exploration resulted in various scales of interaction between Western and indigenous peoples. This lecture will examine indigenous responses to exploration at varying scales by drawing on case studies from North America, Africa, and South America.

Description: Kathryn Ness presents her recent research on cultural exchange and identity formation in the early modern Spanish Atlantic. In this project, she combined documentary records with archaeological collections from three 18th-century households in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain and St. Augustine, Florida to explore how individuals negotiated political and social changes in the 18th century and the increasingly global trade network of the time. Her findings indicate that similar and almost simultaneous changes in domestic ceramics and dining practices in Spain and Florida reflect a new Spanish-Atlantic sense of identity that amalgamated fashions, tastes, and traditions from throughout the Atlantic World.
Ness has a BA in Anthropology and Art History from the College of William and Mary and a PhD in archaeology from Boston University. Currently, she works in the collections department at Harvard University’s Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology. She have been studying the Spanish Atlantic, with a special focus on southern Spain and St. Augustine, for nearly ten years and am excited to expand my research to explore interactions between the Spanish and British empires.

Description: The world was changing 5000-4500 years ago along the Atlantic coast of northeast Florida. People of the Mount Taylor culture who lived at the Tomoka Complex were constructing mortuary mounds of earth on top of mounds of shell as did their cousins in the St. Johns River Valley did for nearly a half a millennium before them. And then the world changed. This presentation summarizes and discusses the most recent findings of the Tomoka Archeology project in relation to this site’s history, daily life of its inhabitants, and in particular how the construction of sand mortuary mounds was impacted by ecological changes and the social transformations that are associated with it.
Jon Endonino is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Eastern Kentucky University. His primary research interests are social and ecological conditions attending mortuary monument construction by Mount Taylor culture hunter-gatherers inhabiting the St. Johns River Valley and Atlantic coast of northeast Florida. In addition to Late Archaic mortuary monuments, Dr. Endonino also has a long-standing research in lithic sourcing and an organizational approach to analyzing and modelling lithic technology.

Near the end of the American Revolution, the ship out of Charleston was on its way to St. Augustine filled with fleeing loyalist escaping to British East Florida. Meide believes the ship stopped in route to St. Augustine at St. Johns Town, a town of British loyalist located at St. Johns Bluff about six miles from the St. Johns River mouth. Later, the ship sunk as it approached St. Augustine’s treacherous inlet.

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.

Description: In April, the Archaeological Institute of America-Jacksonville Society will host by Dr. Robert Neyland, Head of Underwater Archaeology Branch of the Naval History and Heritage Command. His lecture is titled "Archaeology of the Confederate Submarine H.L. Hunley." One hundred and forty-six years after its historic naval engagement with the Union sloop-of-war USS Housatonic in 1864, the Confederate Civil War submarine H.L. Hunley was successfully raised from the Atlantic Ocean in August 2000. Dr. Neyland directed a multi-disciplinary team of archaeologists, conservators and forensic anthropologists who excavated the crew compartment, uncovering the remains of the ill-fated crew along with numerous artifacts and revealing the inner workings of the submarine and its machinery. This presentation discusses the archaeology of Hunley from its discovery through the recovery, excavation, identification and reburial of the eight crewmembers. It concludes with the current theories of why Hunley was lost and the current status of the conservation and archaeological analysis. The lecture is free and open to the public, and complimentary refreshments are served afterwards in the Archaeology La

Description: Dr. Gabrielle Vail from New College of Florida will present "Painted Capstone and Codical Texts from the Northern Maya Lowlands: Agricultural vs. Elite Rituals in Late Classic to Postclassic Yucatán" at the May AIA meeting.
The northern Maya lowlands provide a rich corpus of painted texts associated with the interior and exterior walls of buildings. In a number of cases these texts and the accompanying pictorial components were used to commemorate important rituals. Information from ethnohistoric sources and hieroglyphic and iconographic sources provides important clues for determining context and audience for these texts. This presentation examines the underlying meaning of capstone and codical texts and explores what the different media, time periods, and hieroglyphic captions tell us about elite versus agricultural rituals, and what they reveal about a group’s social memory. The lecture is free and open to the public. Complimentary refreshments will be served afterwards in the Archaeological Lab. On Saturdays, parking is free and the faculty/staff/vendor spaces are open to everyone. For more information, contact Melva Price at (904)241-9411 or at atijaxsoc@gmail.co

The archaeological work that preceded the construction, led by Robert Steinbach, was instrumental in determining what was built, and helped define the present day streetscape of the downtown area. St. George Street wasn't built from the ground up, it was built from the unit up.
Matthew Armstrong is the Digital Preservation Curator at the UFHSA Government House Research Collection.

Description: Join the Amelia Island Museum of History for their next 3rd on 3rd St.
Morris Hylton III, Program Director of the University of Florida’s College of Design, Construction, and Planning, will deliver a presentation entitled, History Treading Water: Sea Level Rise and the Future of Coastal Heritage. Global sea levels have risen about eight inches in the twentieth century. The rate of annual rise has doubled in the past few decades and estimates are that sea levels could rise one to six feet by the end of the century. Efforts are underway to strengthen the resilience of coastal communities and prepare them for the adverse impacts of short- and long-term flooding. Not as much attention, however, has been given to protecting heritage resources or preparing for their loss. This presentation examines the threat of sea level rise to historic cities and cultural resources and explores strategies for adaptation or mitigation.
This program is free for museum members with a suggested donation of $5 for non members. Seating is first-come/first-served. For more information contact Gray at 261-7378 ext 102, or gray@ameliamuseum.org. Amelia Island Museum of History 233 S. 3rd St.

Description: A number of 6th- to 7th-century sites recently excavated in southern and central Spain have produced evidence of an intriguing ceramic category—hand-made, circular clay pans. They are also known from sites in southern and southwestern England, as well as Central and especially Eastern Europe. A great number of them were associated with stone ovens, inside which the pans served for baking most probably pita (unleavened bread), as suggested by ethnographic analogies. Other sites suggest that clay pans were associated with communal ceremonies that may have involved the consumption of special foods, such as pita bread. The clay pan phenomenon coincided with, or immediately followed, a number of culinary changes, the most important of which is reflected in the adoption of closed ceramic forms most appropriate for the cooking of beef or pork. In both Spain and East Central Europe, clay pans became an important component of ceramic assemblages shortly before or after AD 600. The paper offers some possible answers to the questions raised by that parallel.
Presented by Dr. Florin Curta, Professor of Medieval History and Archaeology at the University of Florida

Description: Between the pull of trade with towns like Charleston and St. Augustine and the push of slaving and European land encroachments, Native Americans in the Colonial Southeast moved frequently and often over long distances. As a result, many localities became home to plural communities as diverse Native American groups grouped together for defense and mutual support. This process, often referred to by archaeologists as “coalescence,” led to completely new political and economic arrangements between Native Americans in the Southeast, and between Native Americans and Colonial powers. This presentation will compare patterns of coalescence on the frontiers of Spanish Florida and of English Carolina, focusing on recent archaeological research in both of the regions.

Description: Cultural Resources, Disaster Resiliency and Climate Uncertainty
Florida’s cultural resources are vulnerable to natural disasters. Hazard mitigation planning can reduce the vulnerability of these resources. However, cultural resources are rarely considered in pre-disaster planning, and emergency management agencies and preservation stakeholders tend to coordinate only after a disaster occurs. In preparation is a guidebook to assist Florida communities with the integration of cultural resources into hazard mitigation planning. This workshop will present the team’s preliminary findings and recommendations and gather feedback from participants.

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab
Description: A sliver of land formed sometime in the late Pleistocene in the Atlantic Coastal Plain physiographic province, now known as Cumberland Island, exists in a semi wild state, somewhat protected by its status as a national seashore. Human occupation over the centuries has left the imprint of a checkered social history filled with much adventure, misfortune, and sorrow. One story of love, trust, and betrayal is the account of a young woman of mixed ancestry named Elizabeth Bernardey. The account is based in archaeological and historical research conducted by the Southeast Archeological Center, National Park Service, related to stabilization evaluations of a slave quarters complex supporting the early 19th century Stafford Plantation. A most unanticipated series of events resulting from this research led to the even more improbable production of a full-length dramatic opera entitled “ZABETTE” related to historic events in the life and times of Elizabeth Bernardey. Now retired, John Ehrenhard will give an anecdotal account of events which led up to the production of the opera “ZABETTE.”

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.

Along Florida’s 8,000 miles of shoreline, nearly 4,000 archaeological sites and over 600 recorded historic cemeteries are at risk from coastal erosion and rising sea levels. The Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) started the Heritage Monitoring Scouts program (HMS Florida) to help track and prepare for these climate change impacts by engaging the public to monitor cultural resources. Data collected from the sites includes verifying basic site information, assessing overall conditions, and recording the types of threats each site faces. Join Emily Jane Murray, FPAN Public Archaeology Coordinator, to learn how to become a Scout and some techniques for identifying pre-historic pottery, historic ceramics, glass, and more!

Description: From the pond burials of 9,000 years ago to the platform mounds at the eve of Spanish contact, the indigenous people of the St. Johns River valley inscribed their histories in water, shell, stone, bone, and earth. In the context of environmental change—most notably rising sea and flooded land—the archaeological traces of this ancient past reveal tremendous resilience to disruptions in everyday life. However, relationships between people and the river were inflected not only by the vagaries of nature, but also by an ever-accumulating material reality of cemeteries, mounds, and middens. The river, it would seem, carried far more than water from its headwaters to the sea. It also carried history and meaning for those whose ancestors intervened against environmental change to ensure that life on the river would carry on.

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Lewis Auditorium, Flagler College
Description: Brian Goeken, chief of Technical Preservation Services with the National Park Service, will address contemporary challenges in historic preservation, as part of Flagler College’s Ideas & Images series on Thursday, Feb. 9. The lecture will be held in Lewis Auditorium at 7 p.m.
The NPS Technical Services Division develops historic preservation policy, administers a federal tax incentive program for historic preservation and sets standards for the treatment of historic properties. In Goeken’s Feb. 9 talk, he will specifically explore adaptation in response to natural hazards and preserving buildings’ historic character.
“Adapting an historic building to improve its resilience to natural hazards, such as elevating it due to flooding risk, can impact its historic character, features and appearance,” he said. “Finding ways to undertake such necessary repair and rehabilitation work in ways that preserve an historic property's character will be important to the continued preservation of these buildings.”

Description: During the Roman and Byzantine periods in Egypt, the frontier area at the south displayed a number of interesting long term interactions between various Nubian groups (such as the Meroites, Blemmyes and Nobadae) and the Roman rulers of Egypt. As with many frontier areas, there does not seem to have been a clear distinction of cultural identity, political control, and religious affiliation. This situation often led to serious conflicts with both sides claiming legitimate control of the temples and administrative places in the Aswan area. The introduction of Christianity to Egypt exacerbated the situation and affected the local populations. This talk will look at these complex interactions and center them through the use of “A man walks into a bar …” scenario. Slides of the speaker's own field research in the Aswan area, especially at Philae temple, will be highlighted.
Dr. Eugene Cruz-Uribe is a Professor of History at Indiana University East.

Description: In his lecture, “The Ark before Noah,” British Museum expert Dr. Irving Finkel reveals how decoding the symbols on a 4,000-year-old piece of clay enabled a radical new interpretation of the Noah's Ark story. A world authority on the period, Dr. Finkel's real-life detective story began with a remarkable event at the British Museum: the arrival one day in 2008 of a single, modest-sized Babylonian cuneiform tablet brought in by a member of the public. Such palm-sized clay rectangles were used by the Babylonians to create the first documents, and this particular tablet proved to be of quite extraordinary importance. Not only does it date from about 1850 B.C., but it is a copy of the Babylonian Story of the Flood, a story from ancient Mesopotamia revealing, among other things, instructions for constructing a large boat. Dr. Finkel will also describe the further series of discoveries which allowed him to decode the Flood story in ways which offer unanticipated revelations. The lecture will also describe how a replica of the boat, following the ancient instructions, was built in India—the subject of the documentary film The Real Noah’s Ark.

Description: Columbus and Cannibals in the Land of Cotton
Dr. William Keegan, Florida Museum of Natural History
In the decade prior to the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s voyage there was a mad scramble to “discover” where Columbus made first landfall in the Americas. Historians, geographers, geologists, navigators, computer specialists, journalists, and even archaeologists joined the hunt. Three locations still claim that honor. However, in the process of trying to solve this mystery, it became clear that virtually everything we thought we knew about Columbus was wrong. This lecture focuses on archaeology's contributions to revealing the mysteries surrounding Columbus's voyages. In the process Dr. Keegan will take the audience through lands of cotton and cannibals, and explore new research into production and exchange in the prehistoric Caribbean. The lecture is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served afterwards in the Archaeology Lab. On Saturday, parking is free and the faculty /staff/vendor spaces are open to everyone.

Description: In 1684 famous French explorer La Salle left France with plans to establish a colony at the Mississippi River but got lost on the way. Instead, he landed the colonists on the Texas coast between Galveston and Corpus Christi at a settlement called Fort St. Louis. His ship the La Belle sank in 1686 and was lost until the Texas Historical Commission began searching for the ship in 1995. The story of the ship's location and excavation in Matagorda Bay, its conservation at Texas A & M's Conservation Research Laboratory, and its reconstruction in Austin's Bullock Museum is the subject of Peter Fix's lecture. As the conservator and head of reconstruction , Fix knows every piece of the puzzle after working on it for around 20 years. It is a story of dedication and hard work by many archaeologists and workers in related fields with a rare complete ending--a reconstructed historic ship.

Description: Early Monumental Construction and Middle Preclassic Maya Development at Pacbitun, Belize, by Dr. Terry G. Powis, Kennesaw State University
In the Belize Valley, there has been a concerted effort since the early 1990s to recover information about the Preclassic Maya through sub-plaza research. This approach has been very effective at Pacbitun resulting in the recovery of an abundant amount of data pertaining to the earliest inhabitants of the site’s two main plazas, Plaza A and Plaza B. The first temples built are truly monumental in size and, given the separation of residential and non-residential space between Plazas A and B, they provide a glimpse into the nature, structure, and extent of sociopolitical changes at the site throughout the Middle Preclassic (800-400 BC) period. These transformations observed at Pacbitun can now be compared to other sites in the Belize Valley and elsewhere in hopes of identifying similar patterns of early sociopolitical development.

Description: One of the greatest impacts on archaeology in the 21st century is the use of satellites to discover and document archaeological sites. Data collected from space is changing the way archaeologists investigate landscapes and spatial relationships; this data is also being used to track the destruction or loss of archaeological sites. This talk will discuss the advent and growth of space archaeology as a discipline within archaeology as well as provide case studies of researchers who are currently pushing the boundaries of archaeological research from beyond the confines of our planet.

What's Cookin', Feb 16, 1017?
Zooarchaeology is a relatively new field of study based on analysis of animal remains found at archaeology sites with the goal of discovering how humans and animals interacted in the past. These remains provide information about the people, their culture, and their environment at various periods of occupation. Zooarchaeological studies begin with the identification and quantification of faunal remains to place the site in context of time, zoology and biology, climate and environment with patterns of cultural choice. By comparing these observations between local sites, Rolland and her colleagues have learned the range of faunal selections favored by the St. Johns II (A.D. 900-1300) people in the estuaries of Northeast Florida.

Description: The Belle Glade Monumental Landscape: Ontological Materializations of Monumental Proportions
Archaeologists have always been interested in the material aspects of life. This talk focuses on a relatively neglected aspect of this: how an ontology can be materialized as monumental architecture. In order to discuss this, Lawres will present the monuments of the Belle Glade archaeological culture, located within the Kissimmee-Okeechobee-Everglades watershed, as a case study. Evidence from this region points to the presence of a relational ontology, in which the world is created and maintained through numerous and ongoing relationships. Lawres argues that this understanding of reality is encapsulated within the Belle Glade monumental architecture and the architecture itself invokes references to relations with water, the cosmos, seasonality, people, and places throughout the landscape.
Mr. Nathan Lawres received his B.A. (Honors in the Major) and M.A. in Anthropology from the University of Central Florida and is currently a doctoral candidate in the University of Florida’s Department of Anthropology.

Description: or more than three hundred years during the Late Bronze Age, from about 1500 BC to 1200 BC, the Mediterranean region played host to a complex international world in which Egyptians, Mycenaeans, Minoans, Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Cypriots, and Canaanites all interacted, creating a cosmopolitan and globalized world-system such as has only rarely been seen before the current day. When the end came, as it did after centuries of cultural and technological evolution, the civilized and international world of the Mediterranean regions came to a dramatic halt in a vast area stretching from Greece and Italy in the west to Egypt, Canaan, and Mesopotamia in the east. Large empires and small kingdoms, that had taken centuries to evolve, collapsed rapidly. With their end came the world’s first recorded Dark Ages. Blame for the end of the Late Bronze Age is usually laid squarely at the feet of the so-called Sea Peoples. But it is much more likely that a concatenation of events, both human and natural — including earthquake storms, droughts, rebellions, and systems collapse — coalesced to create a “perfect storm” that brought the age to an end.

Location: GTM Research Reserve
Description: This year’s State of the Reserve will have three main components – a morning plenary and panel discussion, a series of scientific presentations in the afternoon, and an evening poster reception. The theme of the event is “The Art of Science in Our Community,” which is intended to explore the ways we make decisions as individuals and communities, while the science to inform those decisions continues to be investigated. The panel will provide an opportunity to discuss this quandary as it applies to the coastal changes Northeast Florida has experienced in recent years, including impacts from Hurricanes Matthew and Irma. The presentations, both oral and poster, will share the exciting research that has been happening within the GTM Research Reserve!

Description: Presented by John Krigbaum, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, University of Florida
Advances in technology including mass spectrometry permit fresh insights into past people. Bioarchaeology, the study of human remains in archaeological context, has contributed in substantive ways towards reconstructing past lifeways, and the analysis of stable isotope ratios using tools of mass spectrometry on prehistoric remains have transformed the field. In this talk, I will touch on my work past and present in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, focusing on a variety of isotopes derived from human tooth enamel (e.g., carbon, oxygen, lead, strontium). One advantage of tooth enamel is that it captures a window of time during tooth development that has high resolution, allowing for the interpretation of human behavior with sub-annual precision. Serially sampling tooth enamel along growth layers offers new perspectives of diet and environmental change and permits key questions to be addressed such as the ecological context associated with new modes of food production in Southeast Asia during the mid-Holocene.

Description: Kingsley Plantation and Bulowville: A Comparative Study of Enslavement in Early 19th Century Florida
African Diaspora Archaeology can trace its origin to the 1968 excavation of a slave cabin at Kingsley Plantation on Fort George Island (Duval County), Florida in 1968. Between 2006 and 2013, eight summer excavations were conducted at this historical site, to revisit this pioneering work, and ask new questions regarding the lives of enslaved Africans in these New World contexts. Four summer field excavations of two cabins and adjoining yards at Bulowville (2014-2017) allow us to compare and contrast two radically different slave owners, and in the process, see some of the impacts of these differences manifested materially, in the lives of the Africans who resided there in early 19th century Florida.

Description: Full Circle - First Contact: Vikings and Skraelings in Newfoundland and Labrador
The arrival of the Norse at L'Anse aux Meadows in northern Newfoundland around 1000 A. D. is likely the earliest European settlement in North America. L'Anse aux Meadows is the first recorded site where during the Viking Age people who turned left out of Africa met up with people who turned right. The speaker will review the "Full Circle" process of global settlement and present the archaeology of the different people referred to as the Skraelings in the Norse Sagas--the aboriginal residents at L'Anse aux Meadows. A UNESCO world heritage site, L'Anse aux Meadows residents continue their local way of life. The speaker will conclude the lecture with a discussion of additional sites which appear to belong to the Viking Age.

Description: The Naked and the Dead: Ritual and Warfare at the Dawn of Maya Civilization
Artifacts, hieroglyphs, architecture, and art have allowed archaeologists to reconstruct the lifeways and worldview of the Classic period Maya who inhabited the tropical lowlands of Mesoamerica from AD 250-900. However, the story of Classic Maya civilization begins almost one thousand years earlier in a shadowy and poorly understood past. The Preclassic period began around 1000 BC and witnessed the advent of Classic Maya architecture, material culture, writing, and worldview. In this talk, Dr. Michael Callaghan and Dr. Brigitte Kovacevich, discuss the latest insights into the dawn of Preclassic Maya civilization from the perspective of the site of Holtun, Guatemala. Recent excavations reveal the importance of ritual and potential conflict in the establishment of Holtun as a Preclassic-period urban center. Highlighting entombed temples with painted walls, monumental stucco masks, writing, graffiti, and early burials, Callaghan and Kovacevich present a model for Holtun’s founding emphasizing early community worship that quickly transforms into ruler-focused ritual.

Description: Rising waters and shifting sands: How terminal Pleistocene sea level rise has impacted what we know about the earliest Floridians
Presented by Dr. Jessi Halliagan, Florida State University
We know that the first people had settled in what we now call Florida by 14,500 years ago because of recent finds at the Page-Ladson site in the Aucilla River. By 11,000 years ago, people were widespread and well-adapted to life on the Florida peninsula. Much of what we know about these first people, known as Paleoindians, has been discovered in sites that were drowned in freshwater environments, where fragile materials were perfectly preserved. Terrestrial sites, however, suffer from numerous problems that hamper our understanding of Paleoindian lifeways. Further, much of the Paleoindian record was submerged by sea level rise, so we know little about any early coastal adaptations. Even so, a century of research has revealed some significant patterns about early Floridians.

Description: Sea-Level Rise Among the Ancients: Results of the First Decade of the Lower Suwannee Archaeological Survey, Presented by Dr. Kenneth Sassaman
The material record of coastal living along the northern Gulf Coast of Florida continues to be overcome by the water of rising sea. Encoded in this record are clues to the ways that 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. The social networks created and maintained by annual cycles of gathering enabled coastal communities to relocate landward to places of lesser vulnerability when synchronization among earth, water, and sky was disrupted by events, like shoreline retreat, beyond the social memory of generational or century scale experience. Lessons for our own future with rising sea await our attention in the archaeological record of ancient coastal dwelling.

Description: Florida's Dugout Canoes: Why Does Gainesville Have More Than St. Augustine?
Presented by Julie Duggins, Tallahassee Office Principal, Paelowest Archaeology
Florida is home to the densest concentration of archaeological canoes in the world. Surprisingly, ancient dugouts are not spread out evenly across the state but are concentrated in north central Florida. Archaeologists have long assumed the patterns in distribution are due to organic preservation and the large number of lakes in the region. But what if the answer, instead, is more about human behavior and ancient transportation routes? This talk will examine patterns in Florida's archaeological canoes, and it will propose a hypothesis to explain why there are so many dugouts concentrated in just one part of the state.
This lecture is part of the St. Augustine Archaeological Association's monthly meeting. It is free and open to the public.

Description: Timely Remedies: The Ancient Medicine of Otzi the Iceman
Presented by Dr. Patrick Hunt, Professor at Stanford University
The almost perfectly preserved remains of “Ötzi the Iceman” may give us a glimpse into medicines practiced by prehistoric peoples. We know that “Ötzi” carried a medical kit with him – his own portable pharmacy with over ten different plant products that could heal and cure. Discoveries about ancient medical techniques may be possible by studying Otzi’s singular case.
Amazing forensic science has recovered much detail about Otzi’s life. This lecture explores the medical evidence, including material technology he carried with vital medical and bioarchaeological data. This is research conducted under the auspices of National Geographic and the Institute for EthnoMedicine where Hunt is also a Research Associate in Archeoethnobotany. Hunt has filmed several documentaries (2008, 2010) for National Geographic on Otzi and is currently involved in a third production (2015).

Description: Dr. Jon Endonino will present excavation and analyses results from Phase 2 of the Tomoka Archaeology project, which collected ecological data in order to determine the environmental conditions that existed when Mount Taylor hunter-gathers settled and constructed the mounds, earth- and shell-works, and the attending rituals during the Thornhill Lake phase (5600-4700 cal BP). Environmental data are combined with radiocarbon dates and analyses of artifacts in order to situate mound-building in time and in relation to other people across Florida and beyond.
Jon Endonino is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Eastern Kentucky University. His primary research interests are social and ecological conditions related to mortuary monument construction by the culture archaeologists call Mount Taylor who inhabited the St. Johns River Valley and Atlantic coast of northeast Florida. In addition to Late Archaic mortuary monuments, Dr. Endonino also has a long-standing research project in stone tool analysis and determining the sources of stone in Florida.

Description: One of the best ways to show people how we study a site is to share our tool kit. Students observe the tools we use in the field and infer the reasoning behind our choices. For example, many people may know we use a trowel, but what's the difference between the pointy ones versus the flat edge blades? What would we do that? Tools include trowels (yes, plural!), munsell color chart, line levels, various measuring devices, and root clippers. The most important? Our pencil and sharpie for recording our findings.

Description: Florida’s Ancient Dugout Canoes: More Canoes and Continuing Research Offer New Insights and Initiatives
Presented by: Donna Ruhl, Collections Manager at the Florida Museum of Natural History
During a drought, 101 pre-contact period dugout canoes were recorded along the shoreline of Newnans Lake, now called Newnans Lake Canoe Site, the most unique of site its kind in North America. Research on the canoes has led to better interpretation of the ancient peopling of Florida, migration, mobility, trade, travel, paleoclimate and more.
Modern technology has allowed researchers to source the woods used in the manufacture of the canoes and to better understand the role and significance of canoes in reconstructing paleoenvironment, past peoples’ lifeways and their ties to ancient water worlds.

Description: The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park: Where Legend Meets History
Presented by Dr. Roger Smith
The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park has been a favorite site for tourists in St. Augustine, Florida, since April 1868 – the earliest-known documented dating of a patron visiting the park for a sip of water from the famous fountain. But it is also arguably the most historic 15 acres in the nation’s oldest city. It is the archaeologically-proven location where Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles founded St. Augustine in 1565; the location of one of the oldest Native American village in northeast Florida; the location of the first Spanish Catholic mission in the United States (1587); the cornerstone mission-site for the Spanish chain of missions that dwarf in number the missions of California and the Southwest. And yes, arguments continue to support the presence of Ponce de Leon in 1513. But this is only the beginning! The history of this property since these ancient times is as rich and deep as any other in the United States. This may well be the most under-appreciated historical site in the world.

Description: When people first realize archaeology happens in Florida, it often surprises them to hear of how many active permits are issued to do work in state parks. Some of the digs are by field school where students learn the ABCs of excavation, while other digs are done in advance of construction or improvements to a park. This lecture emphasizes visitation of the many parks that feature archaeology interpreted for the public including Ft. Mose, Hontoon Island, Crystal River, Bulow Sugar Mill, Ft. Clinch, De Leon Springs, and many more.

Description: The Rise and Fall of Kerkenes: New Technologies for Exploring Ancient Cities
Presented by Dr. Scott Branting, UCF
For almost one hundred years the immense metropolis at Kerkenes in central Turkey has lain shrouded in mystery. Scholars have puzzled over this large pre-planned city apparently built and occupied by the Phrygians, of King Midas fame, for a brief period of time between the fall of the Assyrian Empire and rise of the Persian Empire around 550 BC. Over the past twenty-seven years, the site has been a showcase of new technologies being used alongside active excavation, useful in reconstructing the plan of the buried city and the activities and interactions of the people who inhabited it. Together, the latest excavations and technologies are shedding new light on what transpired in this ancient city in the years prior to its fiery destruction.
The lecture is free and open to the public, and complimentary refreshments will be served afterwards in the Archaeology Lab.
On Saturdays, parking is free, and the faculty/staff/vendor spaces are open to everyone. For more information, contact Melva Price at (904)241-9411 or aiajaxsoc@gmail.com.

Description: Neanderthal Hunting Strategies in the Northeastern Mediterranean
Presented by Dr. Jacqueline Meier, professor of Anthropology at the University of North Florida
Our early human ancestors used diverse strategies to meet the changing subsistence demands of a wide array of environments. Until recently, the general research consensus supported a hypothesis that prior to the Upper Paleolithic period, Neanderthals and other archaic Homo species hunted a narrow range of animals and exploited mainly large herd animals across the Mediterranean region. This presentation will reveal new data about hunting practices from some of the earliest Paleolithic archaeological sites in France to reconsider the notion that Neanderthals exclusively hunted big game. Together, the recent findings of this zooarchaeological research yield new insights into early human and Neanderthal life-ways.

Description: Using Residue Analysis to Explore Ancient Maya Recipes and Food-Processing Technologies
Lisa Duffy, Doctoral Candidate at the University of Florida
The food and drink of ancient societies is of great interest to scientists and the public alike. Food represents sustenance and also symbols. What we eat and drink is embedded in our cultural attitudes, but is also affected by the availability of resources. In areas like the ancient Maya world, it has been difficult to trace the material remains of many foods because they do not preserve well and, in this area of high biodiversity, are difficult to identify.
My colleagues and I at the University of Florida are investigating the foods and beverages consumed by the ancient Maya, by analyzing organic chemical residues and starch grains in pottery vessels and on stone grinding tools. Our techniques are interdisciplinary and include artifact analysis, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and starch grain analysis by microscopy. I will explain how these analyses can help identify a broader range of food items and particularly, reveal ancient Maya “recipes.”

"By Land and Sea: Don Tristán de Luna’s 1559 Colonization Attempt in Pensacola, FL"
"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 and settlement were irreparably damaged by a violent hurricane. In recent years, three of Luna’s ships have been discovered in Pensacola Bay and the settlement site was discovered on a nearby landform. Join us for an exploration of the history of this ill-fated settlement attempt, as well as the exciting archaeology taking place on land and underwater!”

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. Much has changed since the first Tidally United Summit in 2016, but the fact remains that 16,015 cultural sites will potentially be inundated by a 3-foot rise in sea level, and some are already lost. 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.

Description: Dr. Jon Endonino is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Eastern Kentucky University. He will present excavation and analyses results from Phase 2 of the Tomoka Archaeology Project. Ecological data were collected to reconstruct the environmental conditions when late Mount Taylor hunter-gatherers settled the site, constructed the mounds and earth- and shell-works, and performed attending rituals during the Thornhill Lake phase (5600-4700 cal BP). Environmental data combined with radiocarbon dates and artifact analyses have revealed connections between changes in monumental architecture and ritual at the site, a changing environment, and shifting relationships with other people across Florida and beyond.
