在过去的十年中，对美国佛罗里达州西北部的Aucilla河的研究主要集中在了解许多以前是陆地的，现在被淹没的天坑泉遗址及其周围景观的地质考古背景。数十件晚期更新世和全新世早期的诊断器物从这条河中被发现，其中一些与被淹没的陆地土壤和完整的可确定年代的地层有关。到目前为止，陆地上的遗址已经被证明几乎是不确定的，而且经常被合并和压缩，但它们提供了证据，证明了沿着奥西拉河流域数千年来广泛而有弹性的生活方式。从淹没的景观中恢复的丰富的古环境代理数据可以帮助解释在哪里，为什么，以及如何一些地点保存下来，而另一些没有。这些数据进一步表明，在占领奥西拉河流域的14000多年里，人们是如何适应不断变化的环境的。本文详细介绍了在水线两侧工作的方法，以更全面地了解Aucilla河流域的地质考古背景和人类社会。
Abstract Over the past decade, research in the Aucilla River of northwestern Florida, USA, has focused upon understanding the geoarchaeological context of numerous formerly-terrestrial, now-inundated sinkhole spring sites and the landscapes surrounding them. Dozens of terminal Pleistocene and early Holocene-aged diagnostic artifacts have been recovered from this river, some in association with drowned terrestrial soils and intact dateable stratigraphy. Currently-terrestrial sites have thus far proven nearly undateable and are often conflated and deflated, but they provide evidence of extensive and resilient lifeways along the Aucilla River basin over thousands of years. The wealth of paleoenvironmental proxy data recovered from the drowned landscapes can help to explicate where, why, and how some sites have preserved while others have not. These data further suggest how people were adjusting to their changing environments over the more than 14,000 years they have been occupying the Aucilla River basin. This paper details the methods utilized to work on both sides of the waterline to reach a more holistic understanding of geoarchaeological context and human societies in the Aucilla River basin.
