Known Sites, Unknown States: Monitoring Acitivities on Intertidal Sites in St. Augustine (2020)
This is an abstract from the session entitled "Heritage at Risk: Shifting Responses from Reactive to Proactive" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Over the course of the last decade, the St. Augustine Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program and its preceeding organization have documented a number of intertidal and coastal sites in addition to the shipwrecks off St. Augutine. Wtih the increased changes to climate and sea level rise also arose an interest...
Maritime Heritage Management in the Face of Climate Change Impacts: Lessons from the Spring Break Wreck (2019)
This is an abstract from the "A Sudden Wreck: Interdisciplinary Research on the Spring Break Shipwreck, St Johns County, Florida" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Coastal environments are experiencing climate change impacts that include increased and intensified storm events, changing coastlines, and erosion. As a result, resource managers and archaeologists face new challenges dealing with eroding and migrating sites, as well as so-called "beach...
