Recent Development of Maritime and Historical Archaeology Programs in South Florida
Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2020
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Recent Development of Maritime and Historical Archaeology Programs in South Florida," at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.
As the Gulf stream served to connect the eastern and western hemispheres, subtropical South Florida functioned as the gateway to the Gulf of Mexico and much of Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as a hub of trade, commerce, and travel. The region is home to a unique collection of archaeological resources- both above and below the water. In the last decade multiple federal, state, academic, and not-for-profit archaeology and cultural resource management programs have either been established or greatly expanded in that time resulting in a venerable network of advocates for archaeological and historical resources throughout the region. This session will feature from students, professors, researchers, and cultural resource managers focusing on several current projects as well as the work being done to develop an active network for the survey, documentation, research, and preservation of a wide variety of cultural resources throughout South Florida and the Florida Keys.
