We continue full speed ahead with Florida Archaeology Month and will be attending the Randell Research Center's Calusa Heritage Day at the Pineland archaeological site complex on Pine Island. Come visit, try your hand at making a bead timeline of Florida archaeology and pick up a free Florida Archaeology Month poster celebrating Florida's Mounds.
The Randell Research Center's fifth annual Calusa Heritage Day is scheduled for Saturday, March 13, 2010 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The event focuses on regional archaeology, history, and ecology. Art, music, and replicative technologies, as avenues to learning/education about Pineland's heritage, are included. Activities for children and adults alike will be provided, and food and beverages will be available. Admission is $5 per person; children under 12 are admitted free. All proceeds benefit the education and research programs of the Calusa Heritage Trail, Randell Research Center.
Featured speaker this year is GEORGE BURGESS, internationally recognized ichthyologist and coordinator of the International Shark Attack File. His lecture is entitled, "Smalltooth Sawfish: America's First Federally Endangered Marine Fish."
The day-long event will take place at the Pineland archaeological site complex (13810 Waterfront Drive, Pineland) and will be centered around the Pavilion/Classroom and Calusa Heritage Trail. Visitors can expect a variety of activities, exhibits, and information stations in a festival format, as well as site tours.
