Hello everyone,
I'm in the Jacksonville Airport, waiting for the first leg of my flight home to the Keweenaw. I was at the annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology this week, staying at the beautiful Amelia Island Plantation in sunny (but cold) Florida.
I had a chance to see a number of great Industrial Archaeology research papers, including five or six related to salt production in the United States and in the Maya cities of Belize. I also visited Kingsley Plantation on St. George Island. It was a great site with a fascinating historical story, and they excavated the sugar mill last year! The NPS page for the plantation and the ecological preserve is here.
I also got to talk with many MTU IA Alumni about projects and current research. After the semester gets going, I'm going to post a few updates about their activities. It was good to see everyone!
