In the past year we have introduced over 17,000
people to the Florida Public Archaeology Network.
Additionally we have given over 50 lectures
& presentations, held 110 meetings with local
government representatives, participated in
over 40 events, and conducted 2 heritage dives.
The Florida Legislature established FPAN to be administered through host institutions, such as FAU, with the goal “to help stem the rapid deterioration of this state’s buried past and to expand public interest in archaeology.”
