Description: Times They Are A-Changin’
Human-Landscape Interaction on the Gulf Coast of Florida
Paulette S. McFadden

The northern Gulf Coast of Florida is a dynamic landscape that has changed significantly since the end of the Last Glacial Maximum. Even so, humans have lived along this coastline for millennia, navigating sometimes rapid and significant shifts in resource availability and coastal morphology. Research in the Horseshoe Beach area of the northern Gulf Coast seeks to reconstruct a detailed environmental record of change at the scale of human experience, with attention toward eventful change, such as high-energy storms, periods of rapid sea-level rise, and oyster reef system collapse. Eventful change likely challenged existing cultural customs, and may have necessitated actions designed to incorporate new conditions into cultural practices. This presentation outlines the program of proposed geoarchaeological research in the Horseshoe Beach area and presents preliminary results of test unit excavations at Bird Island (8DI52), shovel testing at Garden Patch (8DI4), and sediment core collection from Horseshoe Cove.
