In the 16th century, Calusa, a fisher-gatherer-hunter society, were most politically complex polity in Florida, and archaeological site of Mound Key was their capital. Based on historic documents, ruling elite at controlled surplus production distribution. The question remains exactly how such pooling occurred when traditions elaborated reflected built environment. Our work focuses "watercourts" associated areas Key. These subrectangular constructions shell other sediments around centralized...
Circular shell rings along the South Atlantic Coast of North America are remnants some earliest villages that emerged during Late Archaic (5000–3000 BP). Many these villages, however, were abandoned Terminal (ca 3800–3000 We combine Bayesian chronological modeling with mollusk geochemistry and oyster paleobiology to understand nature timing environmental change associated emergence abandonment circular ring on Sapelo Island, Georgia.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to discuss the challenges and opportunities for integrating archaeological information in landscape-scale conservation design while aligning practice with planning focused on cultural resources. Targeting opportunity begins statewide databases. Here, we compare structure content Pennsylvania's Florida's databases, identifying leveraging these data landscape planning. research discussed here was part a broader project, which working through lens...
Many archaeological studies in the past decade have begun engaging with ontological turn that has been occurring discipline of anthropology. Of primary interest to archaeologists is how ontologies are materialized and thus become visible record. However, few evaluated can affect monumental practices their products. This research focuses on an ontology be as architecture by presenting a case study Belle Glade culture, located Kissimmee-Okeechobee-Everglades (KOE) watershed southern Florida. I...
While there are standardized methods for incorporating natural resources into planning and design, cultural treated as an afterthought or considered only after unexpected discoveries policies require procedural review. Bringing to the front end of will have positive effects not on preservation those resources, but design processes. However, work toward this shift in practice it is necessary evaluate types data useful professionals, which most cases evaluative spatial commonly contained...
The Seminole Indians of Florida are the descendants a great number prehistoric cultural groups from throughout southeastern United States and have thus inherited rich diversity traditions. They were not passive receivers these traditions, however; changing historical contexts enabled them to innovatively build upon their repertoire fit new ecological social situations. coalescence Seminoles provides useful framework for ecologists study rapid changes in way group adapts an environment and,...
