Weeds & Seeds for Friends of Delnor Wiggins State Park
Delnor Wiggins State Park
March 12, 10:00:00 AM — 11:00:00 AM
This is a private event for the friends of Delnor Wiggins State Park. Request a presentation for your group by contacting Rachael at rkangas@fau.edu Cattle, citrus, and many other common foods today were brought to Florida by the Spanish, so what were people eating before then? This talk covers what people would have had for dinner in Southwest Florida 2,000 years ago. Topics of environment, flora and fauna, archaeological research, and historical documents all come together to answer this question.
Fantastic Archaeology
DeLand Public Library
March 12, 01:00:00 PM — 02:00:00 PM
Celebrate Florida archaeology by learning what archaeology is, and importantly what it is not. This educational and entertaining talk will focus on the misuse and abuse of Florida\'s past. Moving from historical to modern day examples we discuss the many ways “belief in nonsense can be dangerous (Kenneth Feder).”
