| Background |
| Site Description | The Gamble Sugar Mill ruins are part of a 16 acre Florida State Park system site known as the Gamble Mansion or Gamble Plantation, located in Ellenton, Florida. The mill ruins (c. 1845) are part of a plantation landscape that include an Antebellum mansion and extant tabby cisterns and other building features. Historically, the plantation was more than 3,500 acres in size, and more than 200 slaves were used to work the property and for the processing of sugarcane at the mill site. |
| Project Description | The Digital Heritage and Humanities Center at the University of South Florida (USF) Libraries, working in collaboration with archaeology researchers in the USF Department of Anthropology, used 3D laser scanning and imaging technologies to document the ruins of the sugar mill site at the Gamble Plantation, Florida. The project was undertaken as part of a technology demonstration for an archaeological field school, and data were collected to support excavation activities at the Plantation site to assist in landscape documentation and research. |
