Book Synopsis Bioarchaeology of the Florida Gulf Coast by : Dale L. Hutchinson
Download or read book Bioarchaeology of the Florida Gulf Coast written by Dale L. Hutchinson and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Bioarchaeology of the Florida Gulf Coast, Dale Hutchinson explores the role of human adaptation along the Gulf Coast of Florida and the influence of coastal foraging on several indigenous Florida populations. The Sarasota landmark known as Historic Spanish Point has captured the attention of historians and archaeologists for over 150 years. This picturesque location includes remnants of a prehistoric Indian village and a massive ancient burial mound-- known to archaeologists as the Palmer Site--that is one of the largest mortuary sites uncovered in the southeastern United States. Interpreting the Palmer population (numbering over 400 burials circa 800 A.D.) by analyzing such topics as health and diet, trauma, and demography, Hutchinson provides a unique view of a post-Archaic group of Indians who lived by hunting, collecting, and fishing rather than by agriculture. This book provides new data that support a general absence of agriculture among Florida Gulf Coast populations within the context of great similarities but also substantial differences in nutrition and health. Along the central and southern Florida Gulf Coast, multiple lines of evidence such as site architecture, settlement density and size, changes in ceramic technology, and the diversity of shell and stone tools suggest that this period was one of emerging social and political complexity accompanied by population growth. The comparisons between the Florida Gulf Coast and other coastal regions illuminate our understanding of coastal adaptation, while comparisons with interior populations further stimulate thoughts regarding the process of culture change during the agricultural era.

Book Synopsis Late Prehistoric Florida by : Keith Ashley
Download or read book Late Prehistoric Florida written by Keith Ashley and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2012-07-15 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prehistoric Florida societies, particularly those of the peninsula, have been largely ignored or given only minor consideration in overviews of the Mississippian southeast (A.D. 1000-1600). This groundbreaking volume lifts the veil of uniformity frequently draped over these regions in the literature, providing the first comprehensive examination of Mississippi-period archaeology in the state. Featuring contributions from some of the most prominent researchers in the field, this collection describes and synthesizes the latest data from excavations throughout Florida. In doing so, it reveals a diverse and vibrant collection of cleared-field maize farmers, part-time gardeners, hunter-gatherers, and coastal and riverine fisher/shellfish collectors who formed a distinctive part of the Mississipian southeast.
Book Synopsis New Histories of Village Life at Crystal River by : Thomas J. Pluckhahn
Download or read book New Histories of Village Life at Crystal River written by Thomas J. Pluckhahn and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores how native peoples of the Southeastern United States cooperated to form large and permanent early villages, using the site of Crystal River on Florida's Gulf Coast as a case study. Crystal River was once among the most celebrated sites of the Woodland period (ca. 1000 B.C. to A.D. 1000), consisting of ten mounds and large numbers of diverse artifacts from the Hopewell culture. But a lack of research using contemporary methods at this site and nearby Roberts Island limited a full understanding of what these sites could tell scholars. Thomas Pluckhahn and Victor Thompson reanalyze previous excavations and conduct new field investigations to tell the whole story of Crystal River from its beginnings as a ceremonial center, through its growth into a large village, to its decline at the turn of the first millennium while Roberts Island and other nearby areas thrived. Comparing this community to similar sites on the Gulf Coast and in other areas of the world, Pluckhahn and Thompson argue that Crystal River is an example of an "early village society." They illustrate that these early villages present important evidence in a larger debate regarding the role of competition versus cooperation in the development of human societies.

Book Synopsis The West and Central Florida Expeditions of Clarence Bloomfield Moore by : Clarence Bloomfield Moore
Download or read book The West and Central Florida Expeditions of Clarence Bloomfield Moore written by Clarence Bloomfield Moore and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 1999-07-20 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compilation of Moore's publications on western and central Florida provides all of his archaeological data on the region's mounds and prehistoric canals in a single volume. The name Clarence B. Moore is familiar to every archaeologist interested in the southeastern United States. This amateur archaeologist's numerous scientific expeditions to the region resulted in dozens of well-illustrated publications, the value of which increases daily as many of the sites he investigated continue to be destroyed by modern development. Moore invested considerable time and effort exploring Florida's archaeological sites, devoting more pages of published reports and articles to Florida than to any other state. Because of the wealth of material on Florida, Moore's Florida expedition publications have been collected in three separate volumes, all published within the Classics in Southeastern Archaeology series. The thirteen papers reproduced in this volume present the results of Moore's research in West and Central Florida. Moore's first and last expeditions were to Florida and spanned almost fifty years of archaeological investigations. Following the eastern river drainages to central and western Florida, in 1900 Moore concentrated his efforts along the Florida Gulf Coast, spurred by the exciting discoveries of Frank Hamilton Cushing at Key Marco in 1896. Although this region is rich in mound sites, many sites located by Moore in the early years of this century had already been destroyed by construction and lime processing. In addition to mound groupings—some containing masses of skeletal remains—Moore found a number of sites connected by a network of prehistoric canals. Several of the sites located by Moore contained European trade goods and have been used to trace the early wanderings of the conquistadores in the New World. Moore's early work on the Florida Gulf Coast succeeded in preserving much of the archaeological record in this area. He is to be credited with remarkable insights concerning mound and earthwork construction, artifact trade networks, and chronology development.

Book Synopsis Perspectives on Gulf Coast Prehistory by : Dave D. Davis
Download or read book Perspectives on Gulf Coast Prehistory written by Dave D. Davis and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 1984 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For the first time, the archaeology of the entire northern Gulf Coast has been brought together in a comprehensive and integrated fashion. The importance of what heretofore was the 'soft underbelly' of southeastern archaeology has at least been recognized in this impressive compendium. A landmark volume, it is equivalent in scope to those of the North American Handbook series published by the Smithsonian Institution." -- Jeffrey P. Brain, Peabody Museum, Harvard University "Perspectives on Gulf Coast Prehistory is a much-needed volume which sheds light on one of the most neglected areas in southeastern archaeology: the coastal strip that extends from east Texas to south Florida. Each chapter in this edited work, written by a recognized authority on the subject, covers a particular region or chronological period. Taken together, the chapters contain a wealth of information on the prehistory, ethnohistory, and environments of the coastal zone. The text is lucid and well illustrated. Moreover, the editor has done a superb job of arranging the papers into a coherent sequence. In short, this book is a major contribution which should be read not just by southeastern archaeologists but by anyone interested in human costal adaptations." -- Vincas P. Steponaitis, SUNY--Binghamton "The Ripley P. Bullen monograph series has gained rapid respect from southeastern archaeologists. Well written and solid scholarly works addressing a broad range of important research topics, they are essential reading for any student of southeastern Indians." -- Bruce D. Smith, Smithsonian Institution Southereastern archaeology has long taken its orientation from the interior river valleys, even though archaeologists have often been troubled by discrepancies between this traditional model and results of their work in costal regions. Perspectives on Gulf Coast Prehistory is a response to these discrepancies. While they neither downplay the importance of the interior's influence nor regard the coast as a region in itself, the contributors to this book share a belief that the prehistory of the coastal area is different enough from the interior to justify studying it as a region. The essays, both wide-ranging in concept and problem-oriented, cover the Woodland and Mississippian periods of Gulf coast prehistory, from 1000 B.C. to the early European settlements around A.D. 1750. They investigate specific problems, focusing on traditional concerns with cultural chronologies as well as processes of social change, cultural interaction, and environmental adaptation. There are overviews of earlier research and a considerable body of previously unpublished material. In keeping with the larger purpose of the conference at which these papers were presented, a concluding roundtable discussion concentrates on similarities among coastal cultures. Participants presented new research, pinpointed strong and weak points in existing works, and raised questions to stimulate further study. Dave D. Davis is associate dean of the college at Tulane University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Southern Footprints celebrates the more than fifty years of research projects carried out by University of South Alabama archaeologists and students as well as staff at the Center for Archaeological Studies in Mobile. Their dynamic work has been public facing through programs and exhibits curated at the University of South Alabama Archaeology Museum. Archaeologists Gregory A. Waselkov, former director of the Center, and Philip J. Carr, current director of the Center, present the "greatest hits" that have transformed knowledge of human history on the Alabama and Mississippi Gulf Coast from the Ice Age until recently. Of the hundreds of archaeological sites, premiere historic sites, such as Old Mobile and Holy Ground, are now archaeological preserves. Essays are arranged chronologically overall and survey the history and archaeology of a wide range of significant sites such as the Gulf Shores canoe canal, Bottle Creek Mounds, Old Mobile, Fort Mims, Spanish Fort, Spring Hill College, and Mobile River Bridge. Waselkov and Carr take care to acknowledge in these stories populations who are typically underdocumented and recognize the contributions of Native Americans and African Americans as uncovered through archaeology. While documenting all material culture and places that have been saved and preserved, they also note the dire impacts of climate change, environmental disasters, development, and neglect and share their urgency to protect these areas of shared history. Copious color photographs showcase the archaeology as it unfolded, often with the help of dedicated volunteers. Southern Footprints will serve as an indispensable reference on the rich Gulf heritage for all to appreciate"--
