Echazabal, whose profound love and support give me strength. Los amo. Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude to the faculty and staff of the University of South Florida Anthropology Department. I would like to thank my advisor, Erin H. Kimmerle, for her guidance and support, and my committee members, Nancy White and Robert Tykot, for their editorial advice throughout this process. The study of the Miami One skeletal collection was made possible by Robert S. Carr and the Archaeological and Historical Conservancy, Inc. Funding for my studies was provided by the Diverse Student Success Fellowship. Rod Hale, from the USF Graduate School, provided endless encouragement and was instrumental in ensuring my continued financial support through the fellowship. Funding for lab supplies and materials that I used in the new Bioarchaeology Lab in the USF Anthropology Department was provided in part by Griffin Award Committee of the Florida Archaeological Council, Inc. In addition, I gratefully acknowledge the invaluable contributions of several individuals to my success. Matt and Liotta Dowdy donated their time and resources to provide me with radiographs necessary for this study. Tom Hyre gave up much of his free time to provide me with excellent editorial advice, much needed humor and cheerful cyber-company during many long work nights. Kimmerle’s biological anthropology students were a great source of moral support, academic resources and necessary diversion. Finally, I would like to express my eternal gratitude to my parents, family and friends, who never cease to encourage me and are always there to celebrate my victories and stand by me during my trials. They are my light and my shelter.

    ITEM 7 HISTORIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION BOARD STAFF REPORT NAME 8DA11 / Dupont Archaeological Conservation Area ADDRESS 300 SE 3 Street PROJECT DESCRIPTION Preliminary evaluation of data to determine conformance with City of Miami Preservation Ordinance requirements for local designation of 300 SE 3 Street as an historic and archaeological site; if appropriate, directing the Planning Department to prepare a designation report PREFACE It is essential to note that until archaeological excavations are concluded and artifact analysis and technical report production is completed by the project archaeologist, the significance of the parcel at 300 SE 3 Street (hereinafter referred to as “the Site”) can only be understood as it relates to the historical record, to previous technical archaeological reports produced for adjacent properties, and the preliminary findings on the Site itself. Due to the in-progress nature of archaeological study at the Site, official interpretation of the exact archaeological significance of the Site may evolve. ANALYSIS The parcel at 300 SE 3 Street (hereinafter referred to as “the Site”) is located on Miami’s prehistoric shoreline, where the Miami River once met Biscayne Bay. The Site has always been prime real estate in Miami. Archaeological data obtained from adjacent sites indicate that Native American settlement at the site dates back approximately 2,000 years. The first written accounts of Spanish explorers in South Florida from the early 1500s note that a Tequesta village was located at the mouth of the Miami River, and that it was one of the largest Native American settlements in South Florida. In the historic record, accounts have been made that the Site or the immediately adjacent areas hosted 16th and 17th century Spanish missions and an 18th-century plantation.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS If not for the financial, academic, and moral support of dozens of people and research institutions, I could not have seen this project to completion. I would not have taken the first steps without financial support from Dr. Elizabeth Benchley and the UWF Archaeology Institute, the UWF Student Government Association. In addition, this project was supported by a grant from the University of West Florida through the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. Their generous contributions afforded the opportunity to conduct my historical research in Spain. The trip was also possible through of the logistical support of Karen Mims. Her help at the Archaeology Institute was invaluable then and throughout my time at UWF. Thank you to my research companion, Danielle Dadiego.
