Seminar: Unanticipated Archeology Using Remote Sensing in Central Florida: A Potential Window Into Florida's Past   

Join William Baxley as he shares the accidental discovery of an intriguing archeological feature during a graduate-level remote sensing course during the Fall 23 semester. While the initial goal of the exploration was to pinpoint the exact vent location of a freshwater spring in central Florida using remote detection techniques, ground elevation analysis revealed a raised area 145 m from a large pool, potentially an undiscovered Indigenous mound, suggesting a significant archaeological discovery. Baxley will explain the methods and data collected, such as remote sensing involving vegetation differences, image adjustment and comparison, survey data, and georeferencing a 1948 aerial photo that revealed this important discovery. Space is limited.
