What If You Encounter Artifacts At The Beach?

Front of Beach Artifact Postcard

Summer is here!  And you know what that means..... It's time to eat blueberries, time for kids to be out of school, time to go swimming, and time to receive your annual beach artifact reminder!

As the summer storms of weather and people hit our Florida beaches, buried artifacts may become revealed.   Our "WHAT IF YOU ENCOUNTER ARTIFACTS AT THE BEACH?" postcard lists 3 steps you should take if  an artifact is found on the beach (see above).  The back of the card explains what archaeology is and why it's important to leave artifacts in their original context (see below)
