Abstract
This poster presents the results of several years of offshore research in Northwest Florida, tracking the PaleoAucilla drainage system and encountering artifacts and faunal remains at several locations, including two large sites, J&J Hunt and Ontolo. Topics include: principles and methods for finding submerged prehistoric sites, stratigraphic details and radiocarbon dating, and artifact distributions, characteristics, and typologies.
