Grit Tempered: Famous Women in Florida Archaeology

Time: 4:00 pm til 5:00 pm

Location: Hoke Library: 1150 NW Jack Williams Way, Jensen Beach, FL 34957

Description: In 1991 the book Grit Tempered: Early Women Archaeologists in the Southeastern United States was published to highlight to contributions of women who made archaeology what it is today. Since that time, the tradition of strong women archaeologists has continued. This talk presupposes a Grit Tempered II sequel and nominates five phenomenal Florida women for consideration: Kathleen Deagan (St. Augustine), Judy Bense (Pensacola), Bonnie McEwan (Tallahassee), Rebecca Saunders (Amelia Island) and Nancy White (Gulf Coast). Come learn more about these women, their enduring impact on how we understand our past, and the sites that made them famous. Sarah Miller from Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) will be presenting this lecture you won't want to miss.
