On a September 20, 2019 conference call, BAR and Seafarer’s Quest agreed that core samples would be taken for analysis. To date, core samples have not been collected or analyzed. BAR once again requests that core samples be collected, following appropriate research design and archaeological methods, from the sediment in question. These samples should be analyzed by a qualified archaeologist or
geoarchaeologist to determine if the sediment is or is not prehistoric in nature. If terrestrial/organic sediments are captured within the core, radiocarbon dating could quickly establish the approximate age of
the deposit. It should be noted that if the sediment in question is associated with prehistoric material or is otherwise determined to be an intact stratum more than approximately 300 years old there is no potential for the identification and/or recovery of historic artifacts, such as those associated with shipwrecks, in or below that sediment layer. Such sediment has been identified in Florida’s nearshore areas in the recent past. In order to put the question of the stratum’s antiquity to rest and move forward knowledgably, please:
1. Provide a proposal for core sample collection methodology and analysis.
2. Following approval, collect core samples and conduct appropriate analysis as outlined in the proposal.
3. Include the methods, analysis, and results in an updated interim report.
