Guest Speaker: Dr. Lilli Acevedo
Title and abstract:
Cultural Heritage Management Without Roots: Discovering and Managing Maritime Cultural Heritage in Anguilla.

Passed over by Alan Albright and George Bass in a previous life, the Island of Anguilla has a mixed maritime heritage. From English colonization, brief slavery and subsistence centred around the sea, maritime heritage has been played an integral yet largely unrecognized part in creating the Island, today. This seminar looks at the maritime history of Anguilla and the 2009 Shipwreck Survey as a case study for MCHM in the Caribbean region. In addition to defining a list of recognized challenges, a number of solutions are proposed including community and public archaeology. The seminar is designed to get students thinking about the challenges facing heritage management in their local area and whether the solutions proposed for Anguilla are unique or more generally applicable to a South Florida-context.
