The Glades Indians and the Plants They Used The Palmetto Quarterly Magazine of the Florida Native Plant Society · Vol. 17, No. 2 · Summer/Fall 1997 The Glades Indians And the Plants they Used Ethnobotany of an Extinct Culture by Daniel F. Austin Dozens of papers have been published about the now extinct people found living in South Florida at the time of European discovery in 1513. Most studies have concentrated on pottery, bone and shell artifacts, animals used, and culture. In contrast, this article summarizes the plants the people used in their daily lives.

DOVELL Within our own generation a scientist who always weighed his words could say of the Everglades: Of the few as yet but very imperfectly explored regions in the United States, the largest perhaps is the southernmost part of Florida below the 26th degree of northern latitude. This is particularly true of the central and western portions of this region, which inland are an unmapped wilderness of everglades and cypress swamps, and off-shore a maze of low mangrove “keys” or islands, mostly unnamed and uncharted, with channels, “rivers” and “bays” about them which are known only to a few of the trappers and hunters who have lived a greater part of their life in that region. 1 This was Ales Hrdlicka of the Smithsonian Institution, the author of a definitive study of anthropology in Florida written about 1920 ; and it is not far from the truth today.

  • SUMMER ADVENTURES Indigenous Origins O N T H E R O a D EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK
    SUMMER ADVENTURES Indigenous Origins O N T H E R O A D EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK DID YOU KNOW? The Indigenous peoples of the Americas arrived from Asia more than 10,000 years ago. The prevailing theory is that they crossed from Siberia to what is now Alaska. Over the ensuing millennia, many of them migrated east and south, populating areas as distant as present-day Nevada and Brazil. Some of them formed communities in the Everglades. One of the major Indigenous peoples in the Everglades were the Calusa, who lived along the southwestern coast of the Florida Peninsula. They used shells to build earthwork platforms and barriers, potentially as protection from the ocean, and they subsisted largely on fish they caught from dugout canoes they crafted. The Calusa, together with the Tequesta and other Indigenous peoples, numbered about 20,000 when the Spanish landed in Florida in the early 16th century. By the late 18th century, their populations were dramatically smaller, decimated by diseases introduced by the Spanish to which they had no immunity. Around that time, Creeks from Georgia and northern Florida began migrating to South Florida, where they assumed the name “Seminoles.” In addition to hunting and fishing, the Seminole farmed corn, squash, melons, and other produce. Beginning in 1818, the U.S. waged a series of wars to remove the Seminoles from Florida. It managed to forcibly relocate some Seminoles to the Indian Territory, though others evaded capture by venturing into the Everglades. Today, Florida’s Seminole and Miccosukee tribes include thousands of members. Some live on reservations, while others live in off-reservation towns or cities.

Her project, “The Calusa and Seminole Indians: Before, During, and After Colonialism” is a good piece of research. While not breaking new ground, it is a comprehensive summary, and I believe it will help her with her future plans to work in Florida in the field of Anthropology. I enjoyed working with Rebecca.

    [Ru)Ioc!RBo1, Vol.. 10, 1968, P. 61-114] UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN RADIOCARBON DATES XII H. R. CRANE and JAMES B. GRIFFIN The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan The following is a list of dates obtained since the compilation of List XI in December 1965. The method is essentially the same as de- scribed in that list. Two C02-CS2 Geiger counter systems were used. Equipment and counting techniques have been described elsewhere (Crane, 1961). Dates and estimates of error in this list follow the practice recommended by the International Radiocarbon Dating Conferences of 1962 and 1965, in that (a) dates are computed on the basis of the Libby half-life, 5570 yr, (b) A.D. 1950 is used as the zero of the age scale, and (c) the errors quoted are the standard deviations obtained from the numbers of counts only. In previous Michigan date lists up to and in- cluding VII, we have quoted errors at least twice as great as the statisti- cal errors of counting, to take account of other errors in the over-all process. If the reader wishes to obtain a standard deviation figure which will allow ample room for the many sources of error in the dating process, we suggest doubling the figures that are given in this list. We wish to acknowledge the help of Patricia Dahlstrom in pre- paring chemical samples and David M. Griffin and Linda B. Halsey in preparing the descriptions. I. GEOLOGIC SAMPLES 9240 ± 1000 M-1291.
