SUMMARY:FAM Archaeology Hikes
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guided tour of an active archaeological site at the Weedon Island Preserve. \n\n\n\nProfessional archaeologists with the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) and the Alliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education (AWIARE) will lead a hike out to an active excavation area on the Weedon Island Preserve. Participants will learn about recent work at the site\, research results\, and local Indigenous history. \nThis tour is for adults and youth ages 10 and up. Youth must be supervised by an adult for the full duration of the program. \nAttendees will meet inside the Cultural and Natural History Center for a short introduction before departing for the trails. The total hike length will be ~2 miles. This hike may traverse uneven\, natural paths or boardwalks so participants must be able to manage these conditions. Afterwards\, attendees will return to the Center to complete an evaluation of the hike and explore the museum’s exhibits. \nProceeds from this program go to support AWIARE and FPAN in their archaeological missions. \n>>> MORNING REGISTRATION <<< \n>>> AFTERNOON REGISTRATION <<< \n  \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:500 Million Years at Brooker Creek Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever looked at an alligator or a wood stork and thought “man\, they look like living dinosaurs!”? Have you ever seen fossils and thought they looked similar to creatures still around today? And what about Florida specifically – when did all of the animals and plants we see here actually get here? This webinar will take a 500 million year journey through evolutionary history\, looking at the origins of many of the creatures that call Brooker Creek home! We will find out that dragonflies haven’t changed much since before the dinosaurs\, but that just 15\,000 years ago (the blink of an eye in geologic time) Florida was full of enormous mastodons and mammoths\, saber-toothed cats and giant ground sloths! \nThis whirlwind tour of natural history is geared towards adults and interested youth are welcome to join. \nPresented by Brian Magnier. Sponsored by the Friends of Brooker Creek Preserve. \n>>> WEBINAR REGISTRATION <<<

SUMMARY:Turtle Bioartifacts
DESCRIPTION:Turtle Bioartifacts and What They Can Teach Us\n\n\n\n\nExamine turtle bioartifacts and learn about turtle biology and ecology.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis hands-on workshop will focus on turtle bioartifacts (natural history objects) commonly found during nature forays.

SUMMARY:Archaeology of the Anclote River Region
DESCRIPTION:Archaeology Talk: \nInvestigations into the Archaeology of the Anclote River Region \nInvestigations into the Archaeology of the Anclote River Region \nPhyllis E. Kolianos\, M.A.\, RPA\nAlliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education\, Inc. \nWithin Central Peninsula Gulf Coast\, the archaeology of the Anclote River is understudied and underreported relative to other population centers. In the late 1800s\, S. T. Walker and F. H. Cushing noted the importance of the mounds and pre-Columbian sites on the banks of the river\, and both investigated the Safford (Ormond) Mound\, 8PI3\, near the upstream riverine system\, a reused burial mound dating over 1\,500 years. Almost 20 years of investigations into the archaeology of the Anclote River region reveal some important results that support recent research at other major sites and suggest shifting population settlements and sea-level change. \nPhyllis received her BA and MA degrees from the University of South Florida in Applied Anthropology\, and in 2009 received the Distinguished Alumni Award from the USF\, Department of Anthropology. In her past position with Pinellas County\, she supported the archaeological programs and activities at Weedon Island Preserve and was instrumental in the establishment of the Alliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education\, Inc. (AWIARE) and their research station at the Preserve. Kolianos has worked for many years with the investigation and recording of area sites\, and has been active with public archaeology projects\, grants\, and archaeological research projects involving Weedon Island’s cultural resources and other lands within Pinellas County. Her most recent and on-going project is the archaeology of the Anclote River region. \nRegistration: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/weedon-island-preserve-cultural-and-natural-history-center-1250121017

SUMMARY:Archaeology Works: Heritage Monitoring Scouts
DESCRIPTION:Heritage Monitoring Scouts (HMS Florida) is a public engagement program focused on tracking changes to archaeological sites at risk\, particularly those impacted by climate change in the form of erosion and sea level rise. Join archaeologists from the Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) for this information session to learn how to become a heritage monitoring scout. FPAN will discuss threats to archaeological sites\, how to identify some common site types and artifacts\, and the best way to record and monitor them. \nFollowing this introductory session\, FPAN will do a short hike in the Weedon Island Preserve to do a hands-on training of how HMS tracks data on archaeological sites. For more information on this program go to www.fpan.us/HMSflorida \nQuestions or concerns?

SUMMARY:Archaeology Talk: Remembering Tocobaga
DESCRIPTION:Remembering Tocobaga: \nRecent Archaeology at the Safety Harbor Site in Philippe Park \nThe Safety Harbor archaeology site (8PI2) in Philippe Park is widely assumed to represent the ruins of the Native town of Tocobaga\, where the Spanish briefly established a mission and fort in the 1560s. However\, the site has only been minimally investigated\, and much of the work is under-reported. This talk describes the goals and preliminary results of recent archaeological investigations by the University of South Florida. \nDr. Thomas Pluckhahn is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of South Florida. His research focuses on the understanding of small-scale social formations\, particularly on the Native American societies of the Woodland period (ca. 1000 BC to AD 1050) in the American Southeast and those of the Swift Creek and Weeden Island cultures of the Gulf Coast. \nThe monthly CGCAS Archaeology Lecture series is sponsored by the Alliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education (AWIARE). \nQuestions or concerns?
