Time: 6:00 pm til 7:00 pm
Location: Selby Library, downtown Sarasota, Central Ave and 2nd Street
Description: Matt Andersen- Snead Island: A Potential Middle-Ground for the Calusa and Tocobaga
The Emerson Point Mound site on Snead Island, at the head of the Manatee River, may have, in its time, been one of the most beautiful and impressive sites on the Floridian peninsula. I will seek to demonstrate that the architecture of Snead Island’s mounds exhibits influence from both Tocobaga and Calusa, yet represents neither group exclusively. The Snead Island site may well represent a site of political and sacred neutrality.
Jodi Johnson- The Multiplicity of Warm Mineral Springs: The intersection of archaeology and imagined heritage.
Warm Mineral Springs is uniquely complex in that it is the location of a highly significant paleo and archaic archaeological site while also playing perhaps a more well known role as Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth. Through the lens of Warm Mineral Springs I will explore the intersection of archaeology and imagined heritage and argue that the two themes can indeed coexist.
