Searching for Old St. Andrews: A Program for Community Archaeology in Panama City, Florida

Author(s): Jason Wenzel

Year: 2024

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2024: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This poster exhibits current research by Gulf Coast State College in examining sites associated with the “lost” town of St. Andrews, which was initially established in 1827 on St. Andrews Bay in northwestern Florida. Believed to be abandoned in 1863 during the American Civil War, archaeological investigations at properties associated with the town’s early settlers have enhanced our knowledge of life in this frontier town. The recovery and examination of material culture associated with Indigenous peoples helps to further enlighten our understanding of the area’s deep cultural history.
