Sunshine, Booze, and Monkeys: The Anthropology of Florida Tourism
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Harry P. Leu Gardens 1920 North Forest Avenue, Orlando, FL 32803
Description:
The March meeting will feature a presentation by Jason Wenzel. Florida has attracted tourists for over a century and recent research in historical archaeology and ethnoprimatology helps provide us with a long-term understanding of how tourism has changed in response to various sociocultural processes. Archaeological excavations at two historic hotel sites provides us with direct material evidence into the daily lives of tourists at a former fishing lodge and an elite resort. In addition, documentary analysis of the postcards and brochures of early roadside attractions in Florida illuminates the ways in which nonhuman primates served as objects in the tourist gaze. By synthesizing this research, I will discuss how anthropology is in a unique position to critically assess how during the 1930s, tourism promoters took advantage of the re-legalization of alcohol and the popularity of primates as a means of attracting, and accommodating to a new market of working class, automobile-owning vacationers bound for Depression Era Florida. This presentation is free and open to the public.

Discovering Lost History of our Ancient Cultures
Time: 10:30 am til 12:00 pm
Location: Cape Canaveral Library 201 Polk Avenue , Cape Canaveral, FL
Description: Who were the Ais Indians? This and other questions about Florida native cultures and the early European explorers will be discussed by Dr. Michael Francis, history professor at University of Florida.
Dr. Francis will deliver a presentation on a research trip to Seville Spain he has planned for his history students. He has trained his students to interpret ancient Spanish documents to learn what the early explorers recorded of their encounters with the native cultures of Florida. Of particular local interest is Alvera Mexia, a young Spanish explorer, who came to the Brevard county area where he helped established diplomatic ties with the Ays Indians and made a very detailed map of the area. This research mission is expected to
reveal lost information about the Ais,Timicua and associated tribes as well as the Spanish colonial period in time for the state’s 500th anniversary, Viva Florida 500.

Prehistoric Peninsula:
Florida and its inhabitants have changed dramatically throughout the course of time. The landmass has risen from the sea, expanded and shrunk; megladon, mammoth, and more once swam in the seas or walked the land; there were native people who lived here before the Seminole, before the Timucua. Mr. Gidusko will give us a brief overview of what archeologist and geologist believe to be the story of Florida’s past.
Prehistoric Toolbox: Examination of Native American Tools and Weapons
Native Americans in Florida were extremely resourceful using all elements of their environment for survival: from shark tooth atlatls to whelk shelled hammers. Some tools were rough but functional; some had added decorations for beauty or perhaps religious significance.

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.

Had Marjorie Keenan Rawlings written about Silver Glen Run 3500 years ago, instead of the 1930s, she would have described a place vastly different than the backwoods setting of The Yearling. Recent archaeological investigations show that its ancient shellworks began to take shape over 6000 years ago, when communities occupied camps along the run and interred their dead in nearby mounds. The remains of this ancient history are showcased in an illustrated tour of Silver Glen Run.

Humans have utilized fire for over 500,000 years. Since its capture and domestication, fire has transformed human civilization, affecting diet, material culture, even our anatomy, and its control is frequently cited as one of the demarcations separating “human” from “nonhuman.” Prehistoric Floridians relied heavily on fire, and we see its application in numerous aspects of their culture. But fire has played a fundamental role within our state’s prehistory and history. From habitat maintenance to major urban conflagrations, Florida has had a close affinity with fire. This presentation will explore the numerous ways fire has transformed our state.

Futurescapes of the Late Archaic
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Florida Historical Society Library, 435 Brevard Ave, Cocoa, 32922
Description: The first of our "In the Dirt" lectures for Spring. Dr. Ken Sassaman.
After experiencing rising water for centuries, ancient communities of the northern Gulf coast of Florida became accustom to retreating from the shoreline. A variety of archaeological evidence suggests that coastal retreats were not only anticipated by past experience, but also structured to minimized the impact of change on society. The placement of settlements, cemeteries, monuments, and caches would suggest that Late Archaic communities (ca. 4500-3500 years ago) made reference to the winter and summer solstices and thus used the annual cycle of the sun to chart time in space. A futurescape of anticipated abandonment and settlement would eventually encompass the entire Gulf coast, leading to the crescendo of Late Archaic culture known to archaeologists as Poverty Point.

CFAS Lecture: Bioarchaeological Investigations at Kellis, Egypt
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Winter Park Towers
Description: Over the past 20 years, excavations and subsequent analysis in the ancient city of Kellis in the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt have shed light on a thriving and diverse city on the fringes of the Roman Empire during the first few centuries AD. Bioarchaeological investigations of two skeletons from North Tomb 1 provide a prime example of the study of disease at the site. Burials of two adult males, B10 and B12, with ages estimated at 45 and 27 years, respectively exhibit extensive arthritic changes in their joints, advanced osteoporosis in legs and feet and bilateral fusion in the feet. Advanced osteoarthritic changes associated with B12 are surprising given his young age. Although identifying Rheumatoid Arthritis from skeletal is difficult, further evidence including environmental triggers and a possible genetic relationship between the two individuals support this diagnosis. This investigation highlights the rich detail unearthed about the ancient city and provides unique insight about individual lives not available from other sources.

Exploration is not limited to land; famous archaeological sites on the river's bottom add to our knowledge of Florida's past. This presentation will focus on Brevard County and the Eau Gallie area of the St. Johns River.

The Central Florida Anthropological Society Lecture: Zaida Darley
Time: 6:30 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Winter Park Towers: 1111 South Lakmont Avenue, Winter Park, FL 32792
Description: Wine has been a part of human culture for millennia with globalization fueling ever increasing interest of wines from around the world along with a corresponding potential for a promising agricultural tourism industry. The increase in demand has encouraged people to develop wineries and vineyards in regions with limited resources, such as water, land, and even labor, which create tensions among several sectors involved directly and indirectly with the wine industry. This presentation discusses the tensions produced by the booming wine tourism industry in Temecula Valley, Southern California, between residential and agricultural sectors as they face a historic drought. Varying individual perceptions and cultural backgrounds affect how people manage resources in this wine region, which should reflect on the flavor of the wine.
We at FPAN look forward to supporting this great talk with the CFAS group! Hope to see you there.

FLORIDA’S CONTAINER REVOLUTION: THE HISTORICAL CONSEQUENCES OF EARLY POTTERY TECHNOLOGY IN THE ST. JOHNS RIVER VALLEY
Traditional accounts suggest that the adoption of pottery technology in Florida approximately 4,700 years ago came with few, if any, discernable impacts on the hunter-gatherer societies involved. Recent research, however, has revealed a number of important cultural transformations that coincided with pottery’s appearance, including shifts in settlement, exchange, monument construction, and mortuary traditions. New data from the Silver Glen shell mound complex in the middle St. Johns Valley indicate that the earliest pottery vessels played a significant role in ritual feasting events and long distance exchange networks, which integrated people and communities across peninsular Florida. In this way, the new technology helped to challenge preexisting political structures and usher in truly revolutionary change across the region.

Only a few weeks after arrival, however, Tristán de Luna’s fleet and settlement were irreparably damaged by a violent hurricane. In recent years, three of Luna’s ships have been discovered in Pensacola Bay and the settlement site was discovered on a nearby landform. Join us for an exploration of the history of this ill-fated settlement attempt, as well as the exciting archaeology taking place on land and underwater!”
