What Kind of Ancestors Do You Want to Be?: Sea Level Rise and Heritage Sites in Florida

Archaeologists document the shifting seascape’s destruction of archaeological and historical sites and offer long-term perspectives on human adaptation and maladaptation to environmental changes. This presentation is global in scope and includes Floridian archaeological perspectives.
