Jim Dunbar - "Paleoindian Sites Revisited: Old Sites and New Approaches (October 6th, 2009)


Jim Dunbar, Senior Archaeologist at the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research, has focused his career on underwater archaeology and the Paleo Period.  The period of time when man first arrived in Florida some 10,000 years ago is referred to as the Paleo or Paleoindian Period, and corresponds to the Upper Paleolithic of Europe.

 

Mr. Dunbar discussed the use of a new dating method at three Paleoindian sites, located in Wakulla, Brevard and Gilchrist Counties.  The application of the Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) radiometric technique at the Wakulla Springs Lodge Site was funded by the National Geographic Society in 2008.   In the summer of 2009, the method was used at the Helen Blazes Site and at the Norden Site, and results are pending.  The lecture included an overview of the investigations, a discussion of the new analytical technique, and presentation of current preliminary findings.

Carl Halbirt Spoke at the SAAA Annual Meeting on January 6th 2009 summarizing significant discoveries during 2008 that have expanded our understanding of St. Augustine's history


October 30 Meeting

Dr. Jason Ur, from the Harvard University Department of Anthropology, spoke on   "New Research on the Origins of Urbanism in Ancient Mesopotamia".

Scholarly consensus places the initial appearance of cities in southern Mesopotamia (modern southern Iraq) in the late 4th millennium BC. From its origins at the city of Uruk, the idea of urbanism spread outward. Recent research in northern Mesopotamia challenges this model.  

At Tell Brak in northeastern Syria, recent survey and excavations have demonstrated the archaeological signs of urban society and a trajectory of demographic growth starting at least a millennium before Uruk.  

This presentation described the sequence of urban growth at Tell Brak between 4200-1300 BC and will discuss the challenges of studying early urban places in Mesopotamia.

For more information, see the 'Useful Links' section.

The speaker for this meeting was Willet Boyer, a seventh generation Floridian and Ph.D. student at the University of Florida.  He spoke on "The Acuera of the Ocklawaha River Valley:Keepers of Time in the Land of the Waters".
