•Responsible for operating total station survey equipment, establishing grid points, recording spatial data, excavation limits, and artifacts found on the surface or in situ, organized by type. •Uploaded data and prepared in spreadsheets for principal investigator.•Excavated in teams, located sites, set up excavation limits, and screened for artifacts.•Carried heavy equipment over 50lbs, loaded equipment into and out of vehicles and airboats.•Primary field work site was on a marshy island that flooded with the tide and appeared to include a salt works from the Civil War, but we also found evidence of much earlier occupation, including lithics dating back to the Archaic.

Teaching discussion section classes and grading.

Vero Beach, Florida

Old Vero Ice Age Site project, headed by Dr. Andrew Hemmings of Mercyhurst. Investigations of the area that gave rise to the "Vero Man" phenomenon a century ago and ongoing debate about early man in the Americas.•Excavated in 1x1m grid system for evidence of early human occupation in possible association with extinct megafauna and other extinct/extirpated species including floral, insect, and marine life.•Constructed large weatherport as a team, build drainage and pump system to protetct excavation from elements and flooding.•Worked with and taught volunteers young and old about how to identify artifacts and the importance of this research.

Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area

The "Met Square" site, located in downtown Miami and excavated/investigated by the Archaeological and Historical Conservancy headed by Robert Carr, was continuously occupied for over 2000 years, with lithics and fiber-tempered ceramic sherds dating back to at least the Late Archaic. Sherds of a multitude of later ceramic styles coincide with a long-lived Tequesta settlement which dotted the limestone with post holes forming circles and lines. Historic artifacts and features also highlight the site's years as Fort Dallas through the Seminole Wars and as the Royal Palm hotel in the very late 19th and early 20th century.

Pensacola, Florida

Blackwater River, Pensacola Bay, and environs with Dr. Bratten and Dr. Cook, aiding the UWF Maritime Archaeology field school. Worked on shipwrecks, excavating by dredge and mapping in a grid system on 16th century Spanish ships. Mapped 19th and 20th century steam paddlewheel ships from a baseline offset and trilateral system. Surveyed with side scan and sub-bottom sonar, sector scan, and magnetometer, and performed circle searches to dive targets of interest. Assisted with maintenance of boats and gear.

Edited and prepared classroom materials, power point presentations, notes. Graded papers, administered tests.

Yacuma, Beni, Bolivia

Llanos de Moxos, Bolivia with Dr. John Walker of UCF. Investigated a forest island near the town of Santa Ana del Yacuma. Pre-field Research: Detected, identified, and selected/highlighted raised fields using Google Earth polygons to measure agricultural potential and aid in the analysis and understanding of settlement patterns, population size, sociocultural practices, and agricultural strategies. Ring ditches and other possible ancient features of interest were also located, marked, and recorded on same satellite images using similar GIS methods. Excavations and Post-Field Analysis: Dug shovel tests spaced ten meters apart and plotted along intersecting north-south and east-west lines using a total station, excavated trenches within and along ring ditch within forest isle. Noted changes in soil as primary lot demarcation and recovered, analyzed, and photographed ceramic sherds, charcoal, and other features and artifacts. Created maps of the excavation sites and verified their locations with GPS, Excel spreadsheets of shovel test pit data, and co-wrote the field season report in English and Spanish with encompassing analyses after giving a presentation in Spanish to the local community about our work and its importance not only to the history and heritage of the area and a deeper understanding of the human story, but also for the direct practical application of revolutionary and revelatory yet ancient agricultural techniques, fishery practices, and possible anthropogenic soil rejuvenation or preservation/conservation from nutrient depletion.
