    Quarterly Report 1 September to 31 December 2011 Central Regional Center Florida Public Archaeology Network University of South Florida Department of Anthropology in cooperation with the Crystal River Preserve State Park 3266 Sailboat Avenue Crystal River, Florida 34428 31 January 2012 Central Regional Center Quarterly Report September - December 2011 Page 1 of 9 Executive Summary The September to December quarter at the Central Regional Center (CRC) included participation in many of our favorite events – Ocali Country Days, the heritage kayak tours, and the Crystal River Preserve State Park’s annual Halloween celebration. The cooler weather is also perfect for outdoor outreach. The Crystal River Archaeological State Park’s Moon Over the Mounds and Sifting for Technology programs have a full schedule this fall. The Historic Cemetery Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) program continues to be very popular with local historic groups and societies and extremely successful for community outreach. We returned to Rookery Bay Preserve near Naples, Florida to partner with the Southwest Regional Center to complete the GPR study of the Kirkland Cemetery and investigate the possible location of the Bolger Family Cemetery. The second fiscal quarter also saw the hire of two new park rangers at the Crystal River Preserve State Park. Catherine Wunderlich and Ronnie Hartley joined the staff that will oversee the outreach programs at the Crystal River Archaeological Site Park. Both are experienced rangers and interpreters. Catherine came from the Lake Jackson Mounds Archaeological State Park and Ronnie came over from the Hillsborough River State Park. Jason and Rich have both been working to help the new ranger’s while they get up to speed on the public archaeology outreach and education component of the site.
