Accelerating environmental change and attendant extreme weather events such as hurricanes threaten archaeological sites, especially in coastal regions which contain some of the most vulnerable forms of cultural heritage. As such, coastal archaeological sites provide exemplary locations for (1) the rapid study of storm impacts to archaeological site stability, preservation, and resilience planning, and (2) understanding how site managers balance disaster response with post-storm public education and outreach. In response to Hurricane Ian’s landfall in southwest Florida in September 2022, this Rapid Response Research (RAPID) enhances the understanding of how hurricanes impact the management and preservation of publicly accessible coastal and island cultural heritage sites, parks, and education centers. The investigators are working directly with local site managers and stakeholders to characterize the extent of damage; document proximate causes of damage including wind, storm surge, and erosion; and assess possible further damage from restoration efforts. The project also generates site vulnerability models to inform site stabilization efforts, resilience management plans, and public education and outreach content about hurricane impacts to archaeological cultural heritage sites and local communities. The researchers are conducting a survey of storm damage inflicted by Hurricane Ian at four well-preserved and publicly accessible coastal and island Calusa archaeological cultural heritage sites in the Pine Island Sound and Estero Bay region of southwest Florida. By the sixteenth century, this region was home to the Calusa — one of the largest, most politically complex, non-agrarian societies in North America. The project area is the epicenter of Calusa archaeological research, student archaeological training, and public Indigenous cultural heritage education and preservation. Working with local site managers, cultural heritage community stakeholders, and graduate students, the investigators are documenting initial site damage using written descriptions, video, and digital imaging, conduct minimally invasive subsurface sampling of damaged archaeological contexts likely to be further disturbed by site restoration efforts, and produce site damage and vulnerability modeling to inform managerial decision making in post-storm site stabilization and preservation. Throughout this RAPID project, the investigators and local site managers will work together to create educational content about hurricane damage and archaeological cultural heritage site preservation within the context of climate change impacts and extreme weather events, including publicly accessible, mini-documentary style educational videos.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

加速环境变化和随之而来的极端天气事件，例如飓风威胁考古遗址，尤其是在沿海地区，其中包含一些最脆弱的文化遗产形式。因此，沿海考古遗址为（1）快速研究对考古现场稳定，保存和弹性计划的迅速研究以及（2）了解现场经理如何平衡灾难与史型公共教育和外展灾难的反应。为了回应伊恩飓风在2022年9月在佛罗里达州西南部的登陆，这项快速响应研究（Rapid）增强了人们对飓风如何影响公共沿海和岛屿文化遗产，公园和教育中心的管理和维护。调查人员直接与当地现场经理和利益相关者合作，以表征损害的程度；记录造成风，风暴潮和侵蚀在内的损害的近端原因；并评估恢复工作可能进一步损害。该项目还生成了现场脆弱性模型，以告知现场稳定工作，弹性管理计划以及公共教育和外展内容，内容涉及飓风对归档学文化遗产和当地社区的影响。研究人员正在对伊恩飓风造成的暴风雨损害进行调查，该危机在四个保存完好的沿海地区和岛上的Calusa档案文化遗产遗址和佛罗里达州西南部的Estero Bay地区的四个公共访问和岛屿的Calusa档案遗址。到16世纪，该地区是卡卢萨（Calusa）的所在地，卡卢萨（Calusa）是北美最大，最复杂，非阿格里奇社会的家园之一。该项目区域是Calusa档案研究，学生档案培训以及公共土著文化遗产教育和保存的中心。调查人员与当地现场经理，文化遗产社区利益相关者和研究生合作，使用书面描述，视频和数字成像记录了初始现场损害，进行最低侵入性的侵入性的地下抽样对受损的归档上环境可能会受到现场恢复工作的进一步影响，并在现场损害和脆弱的现场进行验证，以便在稳固的现场稳定稳定性地稳定稳定性，并稳固地稳定稳定性。 Through this RAPID project, the investigators and local site managers will work together to create educational content about hurricane damage and archived cultural heritage site preservation within the context of climate change impacts and extremely weather events, including publicly accessible, mini-documentary style educational videos.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed precious of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
