A Needle in a Haystack: Landscape Survey and Archaeological Detection Experiments in Apalachee Bay
Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of a pilot landscape‐scale seismic survey undertaken in Apalachee Bay, Florida, across a submerged landscape that contains dozens of Pre‐Contact sites. In addition to the goals of improving the geophysical and remote sensing ground model for this submerged landscape, the survey also sought to undertake the first

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.The Joulters ooid sandbody of northern Great Bahama Bank is a vast expanse of muddy ooid sands partly rimmed by clean ooid sands and formed into a relatively thick layer of significant extent. Knowledge of the development of depositional and diagenetic patterns in the Joulters example has forwarded our general understanding of carbonate sedimentology ...

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.Emblematic of global coral‐reef ecosystem decline, the coral ecosystem‐engineer Acropora palmata is now rare throughout much of the western Atlantic. We report for the first time, a significant record of late‐Holocene A. palmata populations that existed from ~4500 to 375 years before present in the Dry Tortugas, FL, USA.
