The Museum seeks to educate Americans from all 50 states and all walks of life as well as international audiences. The Museum has three areas of expertise: Holocaust remembrance, Holocaust scholarship and education, and genocide prevention.

In carrying out its important memorial and educational mission, the Museum is guided by its institutional values for our workplace: Honor the memory of the victims; carry out our work with dignity, humility, integrity and respect for others; and strive for excellence through teamwork, rigor, and a culture of continuous learning. Consistent respect for others is the foundation for trust, collegiality and inclusion.

Free Grad Student Slots!

The University of West Florida Department of Anthropology is hosting an opportunity for Continuing Education through a course in submerged paleolandscapes in August 2022. Those who do not need CE can also take the class. Registration and pricing details are in the flyer.

NOTE: Four slots have been paid for and held in reserve specifically for graduate students. Travel and accommodations are the responsibility of the student. Interested graduate students should send an email of interest (why would this class be useful to you?) to me at rgougeon at uwf.edu.
https://lnkd.in/gBtbmbEK

https://uwf.edu/continuinged/resources/continuing-education-units/submerged-paleolandscapes/

This course will provide participants with an overview of the topic of submerged paleolandscapes, including the cultural historical contexts needed to understand them. Course participants will also gain hands-on experience in some of the emerging technologies used to discover and interpret submerged terrestrial sites and landscapes.

In the field of archaeology, few questions are as intriguing or controversial as questions of where we came from and how we got here. Archaeologists have developed numerous patterns and models of early human migration and occupation based on evidence recovered from sites on land; however, growing awareness of past climate change and sea-level fluctuations has highlighted a flaw with these models. Large portions of the world’s continental shelves that are presently underwater were exposed as dry land during periods of early human migration. Although archaeologists commonly point to the importance of coastal margins in migration studies, the coastal margins that existed during past migrations have not been investigated systematically because they are now underwater.

Interest in the study of submerged landscapes has received greater attention in the last decade (e.g., Bailey et al. 2017; Benjamin et al. 2011; Evans et al. 2014; Flemming et al. 2017) in large part because of the increasing availability of the technology required to access submerged archaeological sites. Despite the potential for submerged landscapes to yield previously undiscovered and potentially paradigm-shifting data, continental shelves are rarely targeted for systematic subsurface archaeological investigation, with most investigations taking place close to shore. Given the recent and rapid increase in off-shore and near-shore energy sector developments, archaeologists have an opportunity to contribute to our understanding of submerged paleolandscapes, but only if they are able to properly contextualize these resources and know how and what to look for.

UWF Department of Anthropology Submerged Paleolandscapes Course

Dates: August 8-12, 2022
Schedule: Mon-Thu, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Location: Pensacola, FL

• Sea-level change: what it means to archaeology and how to understand it
• Climate changes and their impacts on the archaeological record
• Determining submerged site potential
• Remote sensing methods and interpretation
• Physical sampling and coring methods and analyses
• Excavation and documentation of submerged prehistoric archaeological sites
