Fieldon Institute Course: Prehistoric Weaponry
Time: 1:00 pm til 3:00 pm
Location: Dixon Heandry Campus, Indian River State College, Okeechobee
Description: The difference between a tool and a weapon is a matter of intent. While this can be difficult to ascribe archaeologically, humans have used tools as weapons for hundreds of thousands of years. This presentation looks at the tool kits of prehistoric Timucuans and focuses on the atl-atl as the weapon of choice. Hands-on atl-atl demonstration available depending on time and outdoor space requirements.

Fieldon Institute Course: In Search of 16th Century St. Augustine
Time: 1:00 pm til 3:00 pm
Location: Dixon Heandry Campus, Indian River State College, Okeechobee
Description: Walking the streets of St. Augustine can confuse the visitor in search of the 16th century, but 450-year-old sites are there—often beneath their feet. This presentation synthesizes work done by archaeologists over the past century and focuses on small objects that bring ordinary people in the 16th century to life. Those planning to partake in the city's birthday party will benefit from the presentation’s culmination of “Ten Things to Do to Prepare for the 450th.”
