Archeology in Pajamas: Dr. Liz Ibarrola (University of Texas at Austin)
Archeology in Pajamas is a virtual lecture series held during the 2024-2025 academic year. For our October presentation, Dr. Ibarrola presented "Rising Tides: Climate Change and the Untold Stories of Fort Mose." Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose was a small, fortified settlement founded in 1738 by the Spanish governor of East Florida and populated by emancipated Africans, many of whom had escaped slavery in the adjacent British colonies. The fort, and its surrounding town and agricultural fields, was a manifestation of the freedom offered to enslaved people in Florida under the Spanish. Today invisible to the untrained eye and tucked away in a small state park, Fort Mose reflects the little known but central role played by freedom-seeking Africans in the early history of Florida. Furthermore, the threats to heritage preservation currently faced at the site highlight the ways which social marginalization of Afro-diasporans has continuously impacted the site. Fort Mose was vulnerable by design, and while today recognized for its symbolic role in the colonial era, it is threatened not only by rising sea levels and increased storm activity, but also Florida’s history of anti-blackness.
This event was co-hosted by the Arkansas Archeological Survey and Arkansas Archeological Society. Thank you to Dr. Ibarrola for a wonderful talk!

    • @ArkArcheoSurvey
      @ArkArcheoSurvey Рік тому

      Ground and pecked tools are some of the most difficult to identify and context is often key to figuring out if the stone are in fact tools or if they are natural or naturally weathered rocks that just look somewhat like tools. They are also much less common than flaked stone tools, since those are less time consuming to produce. Archeologists spend thousands of hours over their careers looking at rocks from their areas of specialization (some that are tools and some that are not) so if the lithic/rock is not from my area I defer to local archeologists who are the experts.

      While it does take some time to learn the intricacies of the scanner, the software program that accompanies it is really user friendly. It just takes practice to really get it down. There are a lot of factors that determine how a scan might go, including size of the object, level of detail, and the material it’s made out of. We use the Artec Space Spider and you can find more information about it here: www.artec3d.com/portable-3d-scanners/artec-spider

    So I have a question… Given all that you have said here I have found what I believe to be burned clay daub at a Native American settlement site. I took samples to a local archaeologist who seemed very pleased at first and said that he definitely thought it was daub, and I also brought in a couple of small pieces of pottery which I found in the same area. Two days later he did a total reversal and said he did not believe it was daub but just clay that was left behind from a forest fire that had turned the clay hard. I was baffled by this response especially after his initial reaction. One other thing that was very interesting about this particular substance is that there were some samples of it that actually had crushed quartz temper in it. The rest of them did not but some did. What do you think the explanation for this would be? I’m still analyzing everything that I have seen and photographed at this location. It is inside a private nature reserve which is good because it will not be in danger of destruction however there are relic hunters looting the site on a weekly basis. I was out there yesterday and saw freshly dug dirt in an area where there are a lot of artifacts. There are also some old earthworks at this location. I continue to meet resistance for some reason from different circles while trying to push forward with having this site protected. I find myself wondering what the heck is going on. I also am starting to consider getting a second opinion. The other archaeologist although helpful seems to be making some incredibly shortsighted decisions. I have no idea why. I am find myself wondering if I should take samples of this material and send it to someone else. The archaeologist in question has said that he is not giving the samples back but they were disposed of. This is extremely alarming because I did not give him permission to dispose of those samples which I gave him to look at. Any ideas?

    • @ArkArcheoSurvey
      @ArkArcheoSurvey 2 роки тому

      My specialization is in the archeology of Arkansas, so I cannot offer an opinion on any artifacts from South Carolina. I would suggest reaching out to your State Historic Preservation Office or a university with an archeologist with a specialty in North American archeology. If the property is privately held, you could also reach out to the landowner about protecting the site.

    • @csluau5913
      @csluau5913 2 роки тому

      @@ArkArcheoSurvey that’s what I thought you would say. The one thing I have encountered in the United States which is very different than the archaeological community overseas is that it is separated by state boundaries. You could have one Native American village with 1/2 of it in one state and the other half in another state and they would approach the whole thing completely differently. It’s nonsensical. North America had no boundaries. Culture had no boundaries. Yet, every state handles things differently. South Carolina is not overly enthusiastic about protecting Native American sites in my opinion. I’ve already contacted the property owner and they have referred me to the homeowners association which I am really not in a hurry to deal with because they are A challenge to deal with on the best days. I’ve already reached out to an archaeologist from the University of South Carolina but his experience is somewhat more limited than I thought it would be. I think I’m going to have to reach out to another person that deals with archaic and Palio lithic. Also, trying to find someone that specializes in earthworks and monuments is going to be a challenge. I’ve already had lithics and pottery identified and dated so I know I’m dealing with a multi period site. Trying to get anyone to come out is pointless because no one will. Basically it’s down to me I’m going to have to do all the work. In the meantime at least it’s protected for now but it’s not stopping anybody from going out and looting the site. I have found fresh holes dug almost every week I go out there. Nobody cares.

  • @csluau5913
    @csluau5913 2 роки тому

    This is good information because it confirms exactly what I thought. I have rediscovered an old forgotten settlement site and I have found overwhelming evidence that there was an archaic culture there and possibly later down into the Mississippian and Woodland.. Multiple layers of occupancy. I have found pottery, stone tools, evidence of stone quarrying, evidence of stone abrading and polishing, burnt daub, and several small Metates and grinding stones scattered around the location as well as a large cooking stone about 6 inches thick. Unfortunately it’s been cleaved into but it’s about 2 feet across. I cannot get anybody to come out and look at this stuff. I finally managed to get permission to get things off the site from the property owner and take them out to an archaeologist at the University of South Carolina who confirmed that at least 18 of the items were lithics. Even crazier here is it looks like this site was used by the archaic people to make tools which I think is where the whole thing began. I found things that were impossibly old there that were partially buried. Somethings had washed down next to the river which flows nearby. This place is incredibly Important and big but I swear if I didn’t know better I would think that there is deliberate resistance to the presence of this location being published or researched. I have no idea why. It would be great if I could take some photos and send them to somebody and have them identify them positively

      @ArkArcheoSurvey 2 роки тому

      Are you in South Carolina? If so you might try to contact the South Carolina State Historic Preservation Office and see if they can point you to someone or to paperwork that you can fill out about the site. All states have a State Historic Preservation Office, so if you somewhere besides South Carolina you could try your own state. Thanks for watching.

      I believe that pestles would come to look like this over time through use. Likely a rock that was about the right size and shape would have been chosen and used rather than a larger rock processed down to make into a pestle. We do find artifacts that were likely used as pestles, and they look like a ground stone tool on the used end. I hope that answers your question.

    That pot lidding that you're talking about happens when your heat treating flints or cherts. when you bring the heat up too fast or bring it down too fast. It also happens if a point is laying on the surface and there is a brush fire. We find several points with the same characteristics inside of fire pits. You must also be a flint napper or you know one because you're exactly right. Another great video keep up the good work looking forward to seeing more. You can also do some heat treating on slates it turns a blue slate to almost a red. If you heat treat too fast, we call it blow your load. The flint,chert's breaks up and looks just like FCR. Especially if it has a lot of moisture in the Stone. Never ever pick up rocks out of a creek or a river to make a fire pit with for camping. The moisture in the Rock will make it explode. Always use rocks for a fire pit that you pick up on the surface . In fields they have less moisture. It lessens the chance of explosion. When I Arrowhead hunt there's two things I look for.FCR, flint or chert flakes. Then I know for sure I'm on the campsite. Hope you're having a great day

    pieces of dolls...? good video. although the "movies" and universitey "established" archelogists don't talk about it, yes, the "natives" had sometimes personal marks. Now PROBABLY that didn't start early on, but probably by the time Egypt and Babylon got started, succesfful pottery market "shops" when trading encouraged their makers to put markers on it. This wasn't found among Neanderthals, even early Native Americans, and Polynesians. but in bigger civilizations and trading nations, it probably was (e.g. Greece).
