Archaeology Advocacy Day 2017
As part of Florida Archaeology Month, March 7 will be the second annual Archaeology Advocacy Day. The goal of the day is to raise awareness of Florida's buried past and continue a dialogue with state legislators on ways to protect cultural resources. Citizens - including professional and avocational archaeologists, museum specialists, preservationists, students and more - from around the state will host an Archaeology Fair in the Rotunda to bring a little archaeology to the Capitol.
Everyone is invited to participate! Here's a few ways to get involved:
