3rd on 3rd Street with Rachel Wentz: Florida on Fire

Time: 6:00 pm til 7:30 pm

Location: Amelia Island Museum of History, 233 S. 3rd Street, Fernandina Beach

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.

This program is free for members, with a suggested donation of $5 for non members. For more information contact Gray at 261-7378 ext 102.

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.

SAAA Lecture: The Demise of Keystone Species during Paleoindian Times

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Flagler Room, Flagler College

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?

Advisory Board Meeting

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.

The Great Fort Caroline Debate

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: Building 51, Room 1205 at the University of North Florida

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.

Time: 6:00 pm til 7:00 pm

Location: Peck Center Reception Room, Fernandina Beach

Description: Join us for a presentation by the University of Florida on sea level rise and cultural resources.

The Conservation Clinic at the University of Florida Levin College of Law is researching the climate change threat to cultural resources as part of a project with the National Park Service. Because the City of Fernandina Beach is a coastal city with a rich history, the Clinic is using the town as a case study in its research. At this meeting, law school faculty and students will discuss their research and ask questions of the public about the cultural resources Fernandina Beach residents value. The information will form the basis of the research as to cultural resource vulnerability to climate change and policies which help mitigate that risk.

For more information, call 904-310-3135 or email aburke@fbfl.org.

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.

AIA Lecture: Ritual in Late Classic Maya Lowlands

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

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

History Treading Water: Sea Level Rise + Future of Coastal Heritage

Time: 6:00 pm til 7:00 pm

Location: Amelia Island Museum of History

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.

AIA Lecture: Clay Pans + Pita Bread in Early Midieval Europe

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

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.

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.

AIA Lecture: The Ark Before Noah

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

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.

AIA Lecture: Columbus and Cannibals in the Land of Cotton

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

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.

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

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.

AIA Lecture: Monumental Construction + Maya Development at Pachbitun

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

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.

Rolland, Archaeology Lab Admin and Adjunct Proffessor at UNF, will take place at noon in the historic 1887 chapel in the park.

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.

SAAA Lecture: The Belle Glade Monumental Landscape

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Flagler Room, Flagler College

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.

AIA Lecture: 1177BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

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.

AIA Lecture: Kinglsey + Bulowville: A Comparative Study of Enslavement

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

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.

SAAA Lecture: Pleistocene Sea Level Rise and the Earliest Floridians

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Flagler Room, Flagler College

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.

AIA Lecture: Sea Level Rise Among the Ancients

Time: 12:00 pm til 3:00 pm

Location: Beaches Museum and History Park

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.

SAAA Lecture: Florida's Dugout Canoes

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Flagler Room, Flagler College

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.

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.

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

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.

The lecture is free and open to the public, and complimentary refreshments will be served afterwards in the Archaeology Lab.

SAAA Lecture: The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Flagler Room, Flagler College

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.

AIA Lecture: The Rise and Fall of Kerkenes

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

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.

AIA Lecture: Neanderthal Hunting Strategies in the NE Mediterranean

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

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.

Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm

Location: UNF Archaeology Lab

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.”
