April 2011 - The Archaeology of the Seminole Wars
GARI is offering our HIS II – Historic Archaeology of the Seminole War Period course. This academic course is designed to provide an overview of America's longest running conflict and will cover the events leading up to and including the First Seminole War (1818-1832), the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), the Third Seminole War (1841-1854), and the aftermath (Post-1854). The course will address the major periods of the Florida Wars, major personalities, battles, significant sites, various diverse military, Seminole, Black Seminole, and pioneer life ways, and technology. The course is tailored for college students, seniors, teachers, and lifelong students having a serious interest in social science, anthropology, and archaeology. The course will be taught by Gary D. Ellis, director of GARI who brings over 30 years as a practicing professional archaeologist to the classroom. Gary is known nationally for his work at Fort King (National Historic Landmark), the Izard Battlefield, Fort Dade (National Register), and is currently conducting test excavations at Forts Defiance and Micanopy and the Micanopy, Black point and Welika Pond battlefields. This course will bring into discussion a wide range of primary research relating to Seminole Wars.
