Location: First Magnitude Brewing Company 1220 SE Veitch St, Gainesville, Florida 32601
Description: We are riding our bikes to First Magnitude brewpub for Archaeology On Tap: Ethnoarchaeology of Fishing on the Florida Gulf Coast. Because....Fishing and Florida go together like beer and the weekend! Special guest speaker will be UF PhD Candidate in archaeology, Ginessa Mahar.
What can present day fisherfolk living on the Gulf Coast teach us about the fishing techniques of ancient Native American communities? A lot.
Ginessa Mahar, PhD Candidate UF, researches the archaeology of fishing along the Florida Gulf Coast using a method called ethnoarchaeology – the observation of present day people to help answer archaeological questions. Mahar will also cover the antiquity of fishing in Florida, stretching back over 10,000 years, and reveal what secrets the archaeological record holds about Florida’s ancient fisherfolk.
So ride your bikes over to First Magnitude, Saturday June 24th from 5-7PM! Let’s have a cold beer and chat about old stuff! Weather permitting, we will have a table set up out back in First Mag’s "Beer Garden" area under the oaks, with related artifacts and archaeologists present for discussion..There will be plenty of time for Q&A!
