Archaeology On Tap: The Rise, Fall, & Renewal of an Ancient Community
First Magnitude Brewing Company,1220 SE Veitch St, Gainesville, Florida 32601
March 14, 06:00:00 PM — 08:00:00 PM
Archaeology On Tap presents Dr. Neill Wallis of the Florida Museum of Natural History speaking on his research, The Rise, Fall, and Renewal of an Ancient Cosmopolitan Community on the Florida Gulf Coast! Join us for good conversation and beer! On the Florida Gulf coast, the first sedentary, multi-household villages were founded around 1800 years ago, heralding a revolution in the lives and livelihoods of previously small, mobile hunter-gatherer groups. How and why this major transformation occurred remains uncertain. A case study in early village development is provided by the Garden Patch site in Horseshoe Beach, one of the earliest and most important communities of its day. Results of archaeological research by the Florida Museum since 2011 hint at the motivations for a permanent settlement of unrelated households, how such an arrangement was sustained across more than a dozen generations, the role of regional relationships and influence, and the reasons for the community’s rise, eventual decline, and revival.
