“…In my opinion we must not spread ourselves too thin if the field is to have a lasting impact within prehistoric studies. Ford and Halligan (2010) made several excellent points in their response. I appreciate the addition of their suggested modification of the final phases of the program I have laid out: the inclusion of conservation.…”

“…Faught and Flemming 2008; Flemming, Harff, and Moura 2017). Even some of the tools used to help mitigate the challenges associated with working in an offshore environment, such as the application of onshore analogues to predict the presence of now inundated sites, have limited applicability as archaeologists are unsure whether earlier coastal adaptations may differ substantially from anything extant in the current archaeological record (Ford and Halligan 2010).…”

Critical data concerning key developments in global human history now lie submerged on continental shelves where investigations confront significant challenges. Whereas underwater excavations and surveys are expensive and weather dependent and require specialized training and equipment, remote sensing methods can improve chances for success offshore. A refinement in one method, a semi‐automated analysis protocol that can help to identify Pleistocene and Holocene era archaeological deposits in bathymetric LiDAR datasets, is presented here. This method employs contour mapping to identify potential archaeological features in shallow water environments in Apalachee Bay, Florida. This method successfully re‐identified multiple previously recorded archaeological sites in the study region and detected at least four previously undocumented archaeological sites. These results suggest that this procedure can expand on methods to identify and record submerged archaeological deposits in sediment‐starved, shallow‐water environments.
