b'PAGE26 FPAN RETROSPECTIVE 2005-2020 PAGE27SOUTHEASTREGIONHome to almost one-third of Floridas population, the Southeast Region consists of Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties. Geographically, this region extends from the worldwide tourist attraction of Key West, through the international city of Miami, to the sugarcane fields of western Palm Beach County. The archaeology of the area reflects nearly ten thousand years of occupation and use. While many residents and visitors are unaware of the significant archaeological resources in their region, FPANs Southeast Region has been working tirelessly to change that. The Southeast Region is hosted by Florida Atlantic University, a diverse university that reflects a diverse region. One signature program for FPANs Southeast Region is Archaeobootcamp, a week-long adventure in collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management where college students from across the country spend a week at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area learning about archaeological methodology and the history of the region. The Southeast Region has also worked with local governments and municipalities to improve existing archaeological exhibits and create new ones. Over the last 15 years, the Region has worked with the City of Miami Lakes on the display inside their government offices, the City of Fort Lauderdale for the exhibit Life Along the New River, and most recently with Miami-Dade County on updating their exhibit at Arch Creek Park. FPANs Southeast Region has received various awards, including Appreciation Awards from both Broward and Palm Beach Counties, and more recently Educational Partner ofthe Year from the Deering Estate in 2018. Working with local communities to raise awareness of the history of loss, migration, climate change, and resiliency, the Southeast Region empowers residents to engage with their past.Top: Regional staff work with students from across the United States during the first Archaeobootcamp at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area.Middle left: Participants at a CRPT workshop in Key West clean grave markers after learning proper methods.
