Florida Talks: Seeing Florida Heritage Through Archaeology with Dr. Baram

JOIN US in celebrating ANTHROPOLOGY DAY with a Presentation from the Florida Humanities!

The history of Florida is fascinating, and archaeological research provides a tactile, visual, and place-based approach to appreciating what has been achieved. The aspects of the past that are in the present, that are being seen, used and visited by people today, are heritage. This presentation explores the dynamics of heritage by highlighting archaeological insights into Indigenous landscapes, colonial sites, utopian settlements, minority communities, and modern cities. 
This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required as space is limited.

Presenter Bio: After 25 years of teaching at New College of Florida and creating its Public Archaeology Lab, Uzi Baram continues to engage in community-based archaeology and heritage interpretation through his consulting firm UBHeritage. For over twenty years Dr. Baram has partnered with community organizations and engaged a wide range of individuals and groups in using archaeology as heritage to animate the past and to offer positive possibilities for the future. 

Funding for this Florida Talks program was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
