Booker Fish Camp project is an archaeological study applying a multi-method approach to explore the terrestrial and submerged aspects of a twentieth century fish camp in Escambia County, Florida. It explores the dichotomy of a site that is both residential and commercial, and remote yet part of a community. The duality of this land/water and residential/commercial endeavor is explored through an analysis of a large surface trash midden and viewed through the lenses of maritime cultural...
Show moreBooker Fish Camp project is an archaeological study applying a multi-method approach to explore the terrestrial and submerged aspects of a twentieth century fish camp in Escambia County, Florida. It explores the dichotomy of a site that is both residential and commercial, and remote yet part of a community. The duality of this land/water and residential/commercial endeavor is explored through an analysis of a large surface trash midden and viewed through the lenses of maritime cultural landscape and waterscape archaeology. The analysis provides a fascinating look at the intertwined relationship of land and water, residence and commerce, and home and community.

Show moreDynamics of social network and social support for physical activity and sedentary behavior are not fully understood. This study examined the relationship of physical activity and sedentary behavior in adolescents within the students' networks of friends and social support. The study was framed in the social network analysis theory and utilized a quantitative, correlational research design in a sample of 602 participants between the ages of 13 to 17 from urban and rural schools in the Caribbean region of Colombia. Participants reported their closest friends who provided social support, their physical activity, sedentary behavior, and perceived social support levels on questionnaires. Exponential random graph models (ERGMs) were used to analyze constructs or network parameters related to structural network and node-level effects. Results showed that reciprocal friendship and friend clusters were distinctive in the networks. Homophily and popularity were associated with physical activity and screen-related sitting time. Social support for sedentary behavior was a social phenomenon observed less frequently and generated different network structures compared to perceived social support for physical activity. Attributes related to physical activity and sedentary behavior had independent network effects on perceived social support. Results reflect strong friendships and give prominence to physical activity as a relevant attribute for providing social support. The study evidenced the relevance of physical activity and sedentary behavior related to friends' selection and social support. Results represent a meaningful input to the understanding of social support networks for physical activity and sedentary behavior in the Caribbean region of Colombia and are helpful to strengthen educational strategies.
