Given increasing impacts from processes such as climate change and coastal development, intertidal shipwrecks are exposed and reported at an increasingly noticeable rate worldwide. As such, Dr. Calvin Mires, Dr. Daniel Zwick, and myself have been in contact with editors at University Press Florida (UPF) about the development of an edited volume of case studies related to this specific type of archaeological resource—the beached/intertidal shipwreck. The press showed considerable interest in the topic, so we have begun the development of an official proposal. I am writing to gauge your interest in submitting a chapter abstract for our edited volume on challenges to and innovations in management of intertidal shipwreck sites.

Our goal is to submit the official proposal, including a list of chapters, to UPF by the end of April 2022. Toward that end, if you would like to participate, we need from you a firm commitment to submit a chapter abstract (250 words) and tentative chapter title by March 21st 2022.

Chapter parameters include:

• 7,000 to 8,000 words including references
• up to 3 tables and 8-10 images per chapter
• your responsibility to secure permissions for image use
• style will be based on Society for Historical Archaeology (SHA); we will provide a simplified guide for you
• references and bibliography will be at the end of your chapter

Title: The Intertidal Shipwreck: Management of a Historic Resource in an Unmanageable Environment.

Volume Abstract: The archaeological remains of ships in the world’s intertidal zones are part of complex and dynamic socio-environmental systems. Being periodically exposed and reburied, these resources vary between being visible and intriguing, and reburied and frequently forgotten features of the physical and cultural coastal landscape. Additionally, these limited and nonrenewable resources play an important informational role as tangible pieces of maritime heritage that also document dynamic coastal processes. Given the dynamic nature of these sites, challenges to management may result in the resource being damaged, ignored or forgotten, leading to potential loss of pertinent social, economic, and environmental information. Through case study examination, this volume will address challenges to the management of intertidal shipwreck sites and innovations in the approach to managing these valuable archaeological resources.

Please let us know if you have further questions or concerns.

https://www.hometownnewsvolusia.com/news/stetson-s-science-cafe-opens-with-underwater-archeology/article_e94eaa3a-8a92-11ec-870d-4755bcc2143c.html

Stetson University’s Gillespie Museum opens its spring 2022 Science Café series with a presentation on “Florida Underwater Archaeology” by geoarchaeologist Dr. Morgan Smith, a geoarchaeologist and assistant professor at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga.

The informal conversation will be at 5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 17, at the museum at Amelia and Michigan avenues in DeLand.

“Attendees of this conversation will come away with a much deeper understanding of human habitation and occupation of submerged lands throughout Florida, including those inland and offshore,” Dr. Smith explained in a news release.

After working in the Southeast Archaeological Center of the National Park Service, Dr. Smith received his doctorate in anthropology from Texas A&M University, studying in the Center for the Study of the First Americans.

In the last decade, he has directed full-scale geoarchaeological excavations of underwater prehistoric sites, as well as surveys of terrestrial and submerged lands throughout North America. He has contributed to underwater archaeology by developing methods and models to locate underwater prehistoric sites more accurately and reliably, with an emphasis on mobile forager societies.

At the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, Dr. Smith teaches anthropology and archaeology, as well as courses in social, cultural and justice studies. He also serves on the board of the Archaeological Research Cooperative, a non-profit dedicated to building capacity and supporting underwater archaeological work.

The Armchair Geology series is co-sponsored by the Department of Environmental Science and Studies. Dr. Ben Tanner, an environmental geologist and department chair, stated, “As an undergraduate, I worked at underwater prehistoric sites that are now submerged in the Gulf of Mexico and it opened my eyes to the impact of sea level rise on human populations. Dr. Smith is working at the very forefront of Florida underwater archaeology and we’re quite lucky to have him visiting our campus. This is an exciting presentation.”

Dr. Smith’s visit also is supported by the Stetson Institute for Water and Resilience and a National Science Foundation STEM scholarship grant, “Cohort-Based Interdisciplinary Learning to Increase Retention and Graduation Rates of Undergraduate Students in Science, Technology, and Mathematics.”

Dr. Jason Evans, an associate professor and executive director of the institute, explained the connection between geoarchaeology and current environmental issues.

“The study of Florida’s geology is inherently a study of water and the sea,” Dr. Evans stated in the release. “As we confront a future with more rapidly rising seas and highly vulnerable coastal communities, better understanding of the past may help guide us toward more sustainable approaches for moving forward.”

Undergraduates may join Dr. Smith for an informal coffee hour at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 18, at the Rinker Environmental Learning Center to learn more about his research and careers in STEM fields.

The Gillespie Museum has hosted Science Café events for the last 10 years as part of an international movement, promoting scientific literacy by encouraging relaxed, open conversations among scientists and nonscientists of all ages.

For those who wish to join in person, the Science Café will offer coffee, tea and desserts, served on the museum’s porch; masks will be required indoors, during the presentation. Through a Zoom link, others may join as armchair geologists.
