  • Interaction, Population Movement, and Political Economy: the Changing Social Landscape of Northeastern Florida (A.D
    INTERACTION, POPULATION MOVEMENT, AND POLITICAL ECONOMY: THE CHANGING SOCIAL LANDSCAPE OF NORTHEASTERN FLORIDA (A.D. 900-1500) By KEITH H. ASHLEY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2003 Copyright 2003 by Keith H. Ashley Angela ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I have benefited from many people over the course of my dissertation research. I begin with my committee members, who each in their own way contributed to this study. Kathy Deagan, a historical archaeologist, remained on my committee even after my research moved away from a postcontact focus. She served as a constant reminder of the generalizing aspects of anthropology. Charlotte Porter was a late, yet welcomed, addition to my committee. She offered a historical and outside perspective of considerable help. Ken Sassaman was a great influence on my dissertation, probably more than he realizes. He was always available for discussion, and in our conversations he always challenged me to address theory and to look at northeastern Florida with an eye also on broader anthropological issues. Buzz Thunen provided frequent counsel, and discussions with him help to refine my understanding of northeastern Florida archaeology. Buzz also helped to keep me employed at the University of North Florida during the writing stage of my doctoral pursuit. I thank them all. I am profoundly indebted to Jerry Milanich, who served as my committee chair. I couldn’t have asked for a better advisor. He gave me tremendous freedom to pursue my research, even if it brought me to conclusions that differed from his.
