Beyond the Theme Parks: Community Archaeology in Greater Orlando

Summary

From 2006 to 2012, an extensive community-based archaeology program operated throughout the Greater Orlando area that was comprised of a team of researchers associated with regional colleges. In conjunction with local governmental agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private property owners, the efforts of the team led to the documentation and study of new and existing archaeological sites and the development of local museum exhibits. The poster will visually convey the scope and success of these efforts, as well as illustrate heightened public awareness and community outreach efforts. The effects of this work are still being felt, resulting in continued study of archaeological and historic resources throughout Greater Orlando.
