A Day at the Lab
| |
Fruitville Elementary students in fourth and fifth grades became "junior archaeologists" last weekend and learned about the history and cultures of early Florida. They spent a day with their family members in and around the New College of Florida Public Archaeology Lab. The event was hosted by anthropology professor Uzi Baram and his students.  The youngsters learned about the ecology and history of Florida from earliest times to the near present, with a focus on the 19th century peoples of the region, including Anglo-American pioneers, Seminole Indians, maroon slaves and Cuban fishermen. New College students showed the elementary school students points of interest outside and inside the lab, demonstrating the tools of subsistence for living on Sarasota Bay, explained the archaeology and history of the Sarasota watershed and used activities to teach about local architecture and Sarasota's connection to the larger world.
