I quickly responded with a request to be considered as an attendee because while I had travelled to the park a couple of times, I had never been in the spring, and I had never been to the northern range. My initial justification for going was to experience, yet again, the beauty and diversity of ecosystems and wildlife unique to YNP. I wish I could truthfully write that I had the foresight to envision what would happen over the next year as a result of this trip, but that isn’t the case. I’m still not exactly sure how the ADP’s seminar evolved into a large JSU group returning in 2019 with the potential for subsequent groups to follow, and I have to fight myself not to overly romanticize my experiences.

Faire´n,1,2 James M. Dohm,3 J. Alexis P. Rodrı´guez,4 Esther R. Uceda,5 Jeffrey Kargel,6 Richard Soare,7 H. James Cleaves,8,9 Dorothy Oehler,10 Dirk Schulze-Makuch,11,12 Elhoucine Essefi,13 Maria E.

Baker6 Abstract At the time before *3.5 Ga that life originated and began to spread on Earth, Mars was a wetter and more geologically dynamic planet than it is today. The Argyre basin, in the southern cratered highlands of Mars, formed from a giant impact at *3.93 Ga, which generated an enormous basin approximately 1800 km in diameter. The early post-impact environment of the Argyre basin possibly contained many of the ingredients that are thought to be necessary for life: abundant and long-lived liquid water, biogenic elements, and energy sources, all of which would have supported a regional environment favorable for the origin and the persistence of life. We discuss the astrobiological significance of some landscape features and terrain types in the Argyre region that are promising and accessible sites for astrobiological exploration. These include (i) deposits related to the hydrothermal activity associated with the Argyre impact event, subsequent impacts, and those associated with the migration of heated water along Argyre-induced

Kennett Professor of Anthropology Head of the Department of Anthropology Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Douglas W. Bird Associate Professor of Anthropology Kristina G. Douglass Assistant Professor of Anthropology Peter B. Newman Professor of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management Lee A. Newsom Associate Professor Emeritus of Anthropology Professor of Anthropology, Flagler College Special Member William F. Keegan Curator of Caribbean Archaeology, Florida Museum of Natural History Professor of Anthropology, University of Florida Special Member Mary K. Shenk Associate Professor of Anthropology & Demography Director of Graduate Studies *Signatures on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT The pre-Columbian colonization of the Caribbean is traditionally described as a series of migrations from coastal South America moving northward, island to island, as “stepping-stones.” As the southernmost island in the Antilles archipelago, just 90 miles off Venezuela, the island of Grenada is assumed to be the crucial first “step” in these migrations. However, too little archaeological data was available to substantiate this claim. This dissertation project was designed to fill the gap. Using the Ideal Free Distribution (IFD), a heuristic from Human Behavioral Ecology, a predictive model was built to test areas of high-probability for early settlement on Grenada via an island-wide “radiocarbon survey” that collected artifactual, soil, and radiocarbon samples.
