Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
WR-1 and Brown Hole are two submerged archaeological sites in the West Run of the Aucilla River. This thesis utilizes a geoarchaeological approach to evaluate the depositional sequences of these sites as well as their potential for further archaeological investigation. The sedimentary histories of the sites represent adjacent depositional facies within a single environmental locus. WR-1 and Brown Hole have limited additional archaeological potential, Brown Hole having more than WR-1. However, the sites present evidence of a freshwater source and a point of access to that source that has been proven to have been used by humans in the past.
