This thesis will discuss the increasing threat that climate change poses to archaeological sites through sea level rise and erosion. This will provide background on the effects climate change will have on site preservation and...
An Examination of Soil Cores and Environmental Reconstruction of the Pumpkin Key Shell Bearing Site (8Cr25) in the Ten-Thousand Islands Region of Southwest Florida
The Ten Thousand Islands (TTI) region of Southwest Florida is marked by shell middens and shell mound sites. Prehistoric populations created these sites through intentionality, and/or refuse deposition. The creation of mounds and middens...
Site discovery is critical to submerged archaeology's contribution to theoretical reconstructions of past peoples. Remote sensing tools help locate human activity and targets, and scientists are continuously devising new methods. Remote...
The Aucilla River Basin consists of archaeological sites temporally ranging from Paleoindian to Mississippian periods. Along with the archaeological sites, quarry outcrops utilized for stone tool production by past populations are...
African and Afro-Caribbean Cultural Identity, Vessel Function, and Inter-Island Connectedness in Eighteenth- to Nineteenth-Century St. Croix, Us Virgin Islands

This project examines indigenous made ceramics recovered from two contemporaneous Spanish Mission period sites in Apalachee Province of La Florida. The study focuses on Colonoware, a ceramic type made using non-European manufacturing...
This thesis asks whether experimental archaeology can be used to replicate the effects of vitrification seen as a result of historic fires. The project design uses ceramics, glass, and a recreated wattle and daub structure as the test...
Finger rings are some of the earliest European artifacts brought to the Americas. Columbus is recorded giving them to the Taíno Indians during his early explorations in the 1490s (Las Casas 1965:288). In addition to this, they are the...

Landscape influences various areas of the Oceti Sakowin such as their history, community, spiritual belief, sovereignty and natural resources. However, their land, the center of who they are, continues to be affected by capitalistic...
The geological and hydrological contexts of the Wakulla River Drainage Basin may present the conditions needed to host potentially significant archaeological deposits associated with intact stratigraphy. To date, there is no in-depth...
