St Augustine Archaeological Assocition Meeting

Presented by St Augustine Archaeological Assocition at Unknown

Florida is home to the densest concentration of archaeological canoes in the world. Surprisingly, ancient dugouts are not spread out evenly across the state but are concentrated in north central Florida. Archaeologists have long assumed the patterns in distribution are due to organic preservation and the large number of lakes in the region. But what if the answer, instead, is more about human behavior and ancient transportation routes?

This talk will examine patterns in Florida's archaeological canoes, and it will propose a hypothesis to explain why there are so many dugouts concentrated in just one part of the state.
