Heritage Monitoring Scouts! Learn to be a site scout and citizen scientist

Florida Public Archaeology Network (FPAN) archaeologist will be presenting on the Heritage Monitoring Scouts (HMS Florida) program. HMS Florida is a public engagement program focused on tracking changes to archaeological sites at risk, particularly those impacted by climate change in the form of erosion and sea level rise. We will talk about threats to archaeological sites, how to identify some common site types and artifacts, and the best way to record and monitor them along the coast as well as inland. Archaeological sites away from the coast are also threatened and we will discuss how to identify inland threats and how to protect these important sites.
