If you’re in SW Florida this weekend, come hang out! #archaeology

🚨🐡 Hot off the press from the Journal of Anthropological #Archaeology! “Beyond Subsistence: Toxic burrfishes and non-food-based economies among the Calusa complex fisher-hunter-gatherers of the American Southeast” 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A perfect Monday treat!! Stay tuned to learn more about the use of toxic burrfishes by the Indigenous Calusa communities of southern Florida!! 🐡🐡🐡 #archaeology #fish

Have you heard of Mound Key!? The once capital of the Calusa Kingdom of southwestern Florida is an entirely anthropogenic island (c. 60ha) made completely of shell! There are even massive fish storage ponds (watercourts) for live fish surplus to feed its c. 4,000 residents! #archaeology #ecology

These stands of dead palms on Ossabaw Island along the Georgia Coast are evidence of increasingly severe salt water intrusion. With rising sea levels, estuarine ecosystems will continue to be disrupted, and with that critical losses of biodiversity will continue to ramp up #climate #climatechange

Did you know oysters are like little ecological time capsules?? Part of my research includes using geochemical methods to reconstruct climatic and environmental conditions from archaeological shell! #archaeology #ecology #climate

Excited to present with @archaeojake.bsky.social on some ongoing work centered on the Georgia Coast, USA today at #SEAC2024 regarding the need for appropriately scaled analyses in our studies of archaeological shellfisheries and intra-site variation in oyster use! #archaeology

Hello! 👋 I am an environmental archaeologist at #PennState who studies socio-ecological systems in Eastern North America, primarily Coastal Georgia and SW Florida, using zooarchaeology, stable isotope geochem, and geoarch. I 💙 fisheries. #archaeology #ecology

🚨 I’m hiring a new Postdoctoral Researcher in Environmental Archaeology/Ecology at #PennState in a brand new building and lab! Looking to build new awesome collaborations. Come hang out with us in Happy Valley! #archaeology #ecology 🔗 psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Ac...
