“…2017). This trend may result from site preservation and survey bias (O'Donoughue 2007) but may also relate to warming climatic conditions, which improved the productivity of riverine and coastal fisheries (Cook Hale and Sanger 2020). These improved climatic conditions coincide with a cultural shift towards increased population sizes and sedentism, particularly in large complexes with mound architecture situated in river valleys (Anderson, Russo, and Sassaman 2007; Milner 2021).…”

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.

“…Although the data requirements of these kinds of analyses are considerable, and the models involve simplifying assumptions, they provide testable hypotheses relating to short-term niche construction behaviors that are aimed at off setting particular selective conditions. Some HBE models can account for long-term sequences of reciprocal causation, for example, ideal distribution models (Hale and Sanger 2020;Prufer et al 2017;Weitzel and Codding 2022). Landscape suitability is a key component of these models, and for agriculturalists suitability is often defined by the presence of resources such as fertile soils and fresh water.…”

Niche construction theory has played a prominent role in archaeology during the last decade. However, the potential of niche construction in relation to agricultural development has received less attention. To this end, we bring together literature on the forms and sources of agronomic variability and use a series of examples to highlight the importance of reciprocal causation and ecological inheritance in trajectories of agricultural change. We demonstrate how niche construction theory can inform on emergent mutualisms in both inceptive and established agronomic contexts, the recursive relationships between humans and their agronomic environments, and bridges between the past and present.
