Archaeologyin30 - Season 1 Episode 6 State Collections With Marie Prentice

Archaeologyin30

In this podcast we’ll chat with Marie Prentice, a Senior Archaeologist for the Florida Bureau of Archaeological Research based in Tallahassee. We’ll talk to Marie about the role the Bureau of Archaeological Research plays within the Florida Division of Historical Resources, what happens to artifacts after they are excavated, and how the state collection is used by museums and researchers. We’ll also discuss some misconceptions people have about artifact collections held in public trust, and some of the really cool museums you can visit to see some of Florida’s unique archaeological material from the state collection. The podcast will end with an episode of "Unearthing Florida" with Dr. Judy Bense. http://dos.myflorida.com/historical/archaeology/
