Impacts to Sites Along the Santa Fe River, FL

Summary

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Beyond the Shoreline: Heritage at Risk at Inland Sites" , at the 2022 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

While the dramatic effects of climate change can easily be observed along coastal areas, environmental impacts are not often recognized at inland sites. The variety of conditions created by a changing climate have the potential to affect previously stable sites beyond the shore.  This paper will review significant sites along the Santa Fe River, in north-central Florida, and provide an assessment of current conditions of a representative sample of prehistoric and historic sites along that river.  Examples of threats and impacts to those sites will be presented, along with suggested and implemented mitigation efforts.
