Guerrero and Beyond: New Collaborations in the Study of the Maritime Cultural Landscape of the Upper Florida Keys

Summary

The historical and archaeological record associated with the Guerrero are but one aspect of the broader maritime activity that has taken place over time and resulted in many shipwrecks in the upper Florida Keys. The University of Miami’s underwater archaeology program was honored to be able to collaborate with both the National Park Service and NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries on the Guerrero Project and assist in the survey and search for the Guerrero and the HMS Nimble, as well as document other underwater archaeological sites in the vicinity of the project area. This collaboration provided an excellent opportunity for both graduate and undergraduate students to participate in a professional archaeological project, be exposed to how two different government agencies work, and to begin practicing the skills necessary to succeed in fieldwork and follow-up interpretation and reporting.
