URANIUM SERIES DATING: SOUTH FLORIDA FINDINGS

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Deering Estate Auditorium, 16701 S.W.72th Ave., Miami.

Description: How do archaeologists and geologists find the age of found artifacts and materials? One method is Uranium series dating (USDD). This method has been successfully applied to corals, travertine, eggshell, tooth enamel, and wood, but less successfully to oyster shell, peat, cementum, dentine, and bone. In Florida the abundance of carbonates, flora, and fauna in close association provides opportunities for studies on uranium uptake and comparative dating with Electron Spin Resonance (ESR), Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL), and Radiocarbon techniques
Under conditions of burial in impermeable matrix almost every type of sample can be dated. The Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport (TNT) vertebrate locality is an example of this condition where USDD was used. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, work began on a new Dade Collier Jetport in the Everglades. During construction of the first runway (still in use today for training flights), a barrow pit was excavated to provide fill for the runway. This fill contained fossil bones and teeth of horses, camels, and proboscideans. The limestone containing the bones was set aside as it was not suitable as runway fill and othe

Between Two Volcanic Eruptions: The Ancient Maya Village of Cerén

Time: 8:00 pm til 9:30 pm

Location: Miami Science Museum, 3280 South Miami Avenue

Description: A cataclysmic volcanic eruption occurred from the Ilopango Caldera, now dated to the early 6th century CE. It rendered El Salvador and surrounding areas uninhabitable, and eliminated the Miraflores branch of Maya civilization. Local recovery required a few decades, and the Maya that founded Cerén were among the earliest colonizers. They established a surprisingly successful adaptation, life style, and exuberant religious life within the household and at the community level. That came to an abrupt end when a very close volcanic vent, Loma Caldera, erupted and buried the village under 4-7 meters of volcanic ash. Payson D. Sheets, Ph.D from the Univ. of Colorado–Boulder will explore their successes in the middle of the Classic Period.
Dr. Sheets has been an Associate and Full Professor at the University of Colorado from 1974 until the present. His areas of specialization include Mesoamerican archaeology, hazards research, lithic technology, ancient adaptations, remote sensing, and geophysical applications. He is the author of three books. His most recent is Before the Volcano Erupted: The Ancient Ceren Village in Central America.

The Last Days of a Maya Royal Court

Time: 8:00 pm til 9:30 pm

Location: Miami Science Museum, 3280 South Miami Avenue

Description: The site of El Perú (named Waká in inscriptions) was occupied for nearly a thousand years, and its people participated in many of the most famous events of the Maya Classic period. They saw the arrival of Siyaj’ K’ak’, the powerful general “from the west” whose conquests changed the course of Maya history; they were willing allies in the drive by Yuknoom Ch’een II, the great Snake king of Calakmul, to dominate the Maya Lowlands.

But in the end, as with all the cities of the Classic period, the reign of Waká’s divine kings came to a close in the first decades of the 9th Century CE. This lecture, by David F. Lee, Ph.D. – Waká Research Foundation, St. Louis, MO- presents some of the remarkable evidence uncovered at the city’s royal palace complex during more than four years of research with El Perú-Waká Archaeological Research Project.

How far north might the Burmese python venture from the Everglades wilderness?

And does history seem poised to repeat itself as new, large reptiles are discovered to be thriving in the area's favorable climate? Larry Perez, author of Snake in the Grass: An Everglades Invasion, shares how this story has unfolded before his eyes, and provides new insight into how it challenges our understanding of wilderness and man's place within it.

Perhaps no other person experienced firsthand as many important events and met as many influential characters in South Florida’s history. Charlie became one of the Barefoot Mailmen and kept a journal of his life. Please join us for this very special guest speaker.

Under the Volcano II, Maribios and Chontales

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Palm Beach County Main Library 3650 Summit Blvd., West Palm Beach, 33406

Description: Dr. Clifford Brown will talk about he and his colleagues’ 2013 season of survey and excavations in northwest Nicaragua. The team located a number of new sites. They focused their excavations in the eastern and northern parts of the Department of Chinandega, at sites in the municipalities of Chichigalpa and Somotillo. Near Chichigalpa, they found a large site which has interesting stratigraphy as well as seemingly distinctive ceramics. The location and the ruins of a Colonial period church strongly imply that it is the lost Maribio town of Mazatega.
In the north, at the site of Dulce Nombre de Jesús, they found an extensive field of stone mounds as well as numerous prehistoric stone house foundations. Part of the site has a very unusual obsidian industry, while the remainder has a more conventional one. Finally, the site of La Trinidad produced patches of dense midden with cultural features. That site produced tantalizing evidence of ground stone tool production.

Presented by Megan Miller and Terry Hooker

The goal of the Oakland cemetery project was to produce an accessible record of all local gravestones to help researchers and the general public understand their historic value. Oakland is an excellent example of how both historic and public archaeology are important to the cataloging and preserving of a town's history.

Oakland's cultural past is being protected, maintained, and enjoyed through various organizations as well as through community involvement. This is a discussion of past and current trends as well as new ways to encourage and enrich this type of understanding through local cemeteries for this and other communities.

The Pine Island and Long Key, located in the Town of Davie, is a unique geological feature. It is the highest natural land in Broward County and on it lay 35 known Native American archaeological sites. This Brown Bag Lunch discussion, presented by Paul Callsen, explores how native people probably used the Pine Island and Long Key in their search for sustenance, how the sites were arranged over a period of 2,000 years and how their locations had shifted over time. Finally, the talk will look at many of the sites as they are today and we ask the question, “Did we do a good job of protecting our cultural resources?” The Pine Island and Long Key are home to four parks as well as bike and horse paths; visits to these facilities are one of the best ways that families can directly and economically experience a conversation with the distant past.

Hidden Histories of the Dry Tortugas

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Deering Estate Auditorium, 16701 S.W. 72nd Ave., Miami

Description: Although much of the military and architectural history of Fort Jefferson is well-documented, there are some interesting details that have not been the subject of any study. People have been compelled to leave messages on the walls of the fort using a variety of materials. These inscriptions span the first few decades of the 20th century, a time when the fort was not being officially utilized. Upcoming renovations to preserve and stabilize the fort’s overall architectural integrity put these smaller details at risk. The Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) partnered with the National Park Service to conceive of a long term preservation solution for this historic graffiti and carried out a photographic documentation of the at-risk area. Not only did the project save this unique and fragile resource, but it unlocked a hidden history: The graffiti dates from the 1880’s to the present day, and represents the only records of the fort being used during periods of its abandonment.

Location: Deering Estate Auditorium, 16701 S.W. 72nd Ave., Miami

Description: An Investigation into the Image of the Ecological Indian in the Woodland Period at Crystal River
Or - Oyster Exploitation?
The Crystal River overlooks one of the most impressive archaeological sites in the south, the Crystal River Archaeological State Park. This presentation will focus on the field work done at Crystal River and the analysis of the material remains which were found at the site. More specifically, our speaker, Alex Delgado, seeks to address the issue of over-exploitation of resources at the site. In this case, over 600 oyster shells were meticulously analyzed in order to gain insights into the subsistence patterns of the original inhabitants of the area. The presentation will also seek to address the pervasive image of the, "Ecological Indian". Were Native Americans mindful of ecology?

Our presenter Alex Delgado is a graduate student studying archaeology at the University of South Florida. He has completed his field work at the Crystal River mound site in Central Florida. His research interests include North American Prehistory, subsistence patterns, early village and state formation, resource exploitation, and experimental archaeology.

Atlantic Ais in the Late Seventeenth Century

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:30 pm

Location: Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton Campus, Room ED 119

Description: The Ais and other Native Americans of Florida's east coast expertly exploited their local riverine and marine environment. From this maritime adaptation, they honed various aquatic skills, including adept swimming and skillful diving. Such expertise, however, did not go unnoticed by the coming Europeans. In the 1680s, for example, English and French buccaneers raided the Florida coast to acquire indigenous divers to work a sunken Spanish treasure ship in the Bahamas. Using this captive labor force, the buccaneers and Bahamians, along with wreckers from as far as New York, New England, Jamaica, and Barbados, quickly salvaged the wreck's silver cargo. They subsequently sold the surviving field of the "Red" Atlantic and the Atlantic slave trade, and using a variety of English and Spanish documents, Peter thus examines the Atlantic Ais in the late seventeenth century/

Hands, Words, and Brains: What Cognitive Archaeology Can Teach Us

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Palm Beach County Main Library, 3650 Summit Blvd., West Palm Beach, 33406

Description: Lana Ruck's research focuses on Lower Paleolithic archaeology, which dates to roughly 2.6 million years ago, long before modern humans existed. Stone tools are the primary archaeological materials that preserve from this time, and through much study, we have learned that stone tool-making was an important step towards "becoming human" for our ancestors.

Cognition, language, and technology are thought of as "uniquely human," but many of our ancestors thought and spoke like us too! She will be talking about how primitive stone tool-making relates to traits like handedness and language, and discuss how and why these behaviors evolved together over millions of years.

The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Çatalhöyük was first discovered in the late 1950s and excavated by James Mellaart between 1961 and 1965. The Neolithic site rapidly gained international fame due to its immense size and dense occupation of the settlement, as well as the spectacular wall paintings and venus figurines found at the site.
As an archaeological site, Çatalhöyük is unique in that it has been continually excavated for over 20 years (since 1993) with teams of over 100 archaeologists from multiple countries working in the field and at the on-site laboratories. Dr. Rice will be discussing how the site has gained recognition by contemporary Goddess worshipers and various Pagan organizations from around the world as a sacred space. Çatalhöyük is most known for its unusual burial rites, evidence of gender equality, and lavish mural paintings.

Costa Rica and Archaeology - ASSF lecture

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Deering Estate - Culter Bay FL

Description: When the word ecotourism was coined in 1983, the inventor must have had Costa Rica in mind. The country had established its National Park in 1970. However, when birdwatchers found that the country had 850 species of birds, tourists began to flock into the country and the government began a program to preserve its tremendous biodiversity and to reap the economic benefits of tourism. Just lately it has decided to finance archaeological investigations. This presentation will also include a visit to the Pre Columbian site of El Guayabo de Turrialba.
Dr. Anne Stewart was born in Indiana. Near her home were Adena Indian mounds which helped her develop a lifelong interest in Precolumbian cultures. She received her BA from Baldwin Wallace University, MS from Florida State and Doctorate from Nova Southeastern.

History is the Real Treasure - Della Scott Ireton

Time: 6:00 pm til 7:00 pm

Location: The Custom House 281 Front St Fl 33, Key West, FL 33040 USA

Description: The Spanish treasure fleet of 1733 wrecked in a violent hurricane along 80 miles of the Florida Keys. With the discovery of the first shipwreck in the late 1940s and the growth of scuba diving in the 1950s and 60s enabling treasure hunters to locate most of the rest of the fleet, these wrecks suffered from haphazard digging and the loss of much information. Today, these shipwrecks are among the oldest and most vibrant artificial reefs in the Keys. This lecture describes a State of Florida project to record and interpret the 1733 fleet that resulted in the production of a booklet and website devoted to telling the story of the fleet disaster and to promoting the archaeological importance of the sunken ships as tangible remains of our maritime heritage.
