Archaeology on Tap

Time: 4:00 pm til 5:00 pm

Location: Gaspar's Patio, 8448 North 56th Street, Temple Terrace, FL 33617

Description: Our next Archaeology on Tap speaker is going to be University of South Florida graduate student Kate Padula with a talk entitled Re-Placing the Plantation Landscape at Yulee's Margarita Plantation, Homosassa, Florida

Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins Historic State Park (CI124B) contains the remnants of a 19th century sugar mill, associated with the Margarita plantation located in Homosassa, Florida. At present, documentation of the plantation boundaries is limited and the locations of various associated buildings, including slave quarters, are unknown. To address this issue, a reconnaissance survey is underway in the vicinity of the mill to identify associated plantation structures and boundaries. Preliminary results indicate that remains of the plantation are not in the immediate vicinity of the sugar mill, warranting further survey.
