Zusammenfassung:Florida houses the densest concentration of artesian springs in the world. However, many springs are imperilled by pollution, development, and groundwater extraction. Archaeologists have long recognized the importance of springs in the past, but typically focus solely on their ecological capacities. Meanwhile, contemporary conservation narratives rely on a trope of timeless, pristine springs that likewise downplays their historical significance. This work draws on recent archaeological research at a number of springs to examine their long-term significance and the relevance of archaeological knowledge to modern conservation efforts
