This research investigates settlement patterns during the formative pre-historic periods in Southeast Florida, the three Glades Periods (BC 500- AD 1750). During this time span, the inhabitants of the region adapted to a changing climate and environment by occupying places that were conducive to their particular hunter-gatherer way of life. However, while the Glades people moved from one locale to another, they never altered the manner in which they primarily sought sustenance; fishing and hunting. Evidence suggests substantial population increases beginning in the Glades II Period and shift of habitations due to flooding of earlier and lower sites. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES………………………….………………………..……..…….. xi LIST OF FIGURES………………………………………………...…………..… xiii CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION………………………………………….…. 1 Problem and Purpose…………………………………….……………..….…. 1 Thesis Organization…………………………………………………………… 2 CHAPTER TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSFORMATION and LOSS of… the ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD…………………………………………. 4 CHAPTER THREE: PHYSIOGRAPHY and ENVIRONMENTAL ZONES..….. 11 CHAPTER FOUR: STUDY AREA DEFINITION and CULTURE HISTORY… 19 The Study Area..……………………………………………………………… 22 Chronology…………………………………..……………………………….. 24 Ceramics: Time Period Markers…………………………………….……...… 28 CHAPTER FIVE: The FLORIDA MASTER SITE FILE: A METHODOLOGICAL DILEMMA……………….………….…………… 39 FMSF GIS Content…….……………………………………………………... 41 Settlement Site Types and Functions…………………………………….…... 45 Can the FMSF Be Used for Large Scale Glades Settlement Study in Southeast Florida?……………………………………………………………... 48 CHAPTER SIX: PROBLEM STATEMENT and SIGNIFICANCE……………... 55 Hunter-gatherers: A View of Modern Populations……………………………. 55 vi The Theory Applied to the Everglades Culture Area……………………….… 58 Problem Significance: To What Extent Do the Glades People Fit the Theory? 61 Social Complexity: Is There Evidence?…………………………...………....... 67 CHAPTER SEVEN: HYPOTHESES and METHODS………………………..… 75 Hypotheses…………………………………………………….….….….…..... 76 (H1) Site densities in the interior of Pine Forests and along the Atlantic Coastal Ridge are similar to those in the Ridge and Slough and Peat Transverse Glades……………………………….… 76 (H2) There is a pattern of sites distributed in and around Cypress Sloughs located north of the Peat Transverse Glades that Flowed toward the estuary……………….…………………………. 76 (H3) Sites are located along the Atlantic Coastal Ridge in a linear distribution……………………………………………… 76 (H4) There is a pattern of large sites on the interior, western, side of the Pine Forests and Atlantic Coastal Ridge……………….. 77 (H5) The density of sites within the Peat Transverse Glades and east of the north-south alignment of the western edge of the Pine Forests is similar to site density in the Ridge and Slough…………... 77 (H6) A majority of large and significant mainland sites are located Coastal Marshes, Marl Marshes, Peat Transverse Glades and upland forests……………………………………………..…….. 77 (H7) The density of sites within the various distinct environmental zones changes throughout the three Glades periods. ……………… 77 (H8) On the Pine Islands, including Long Key, sites are located at roughly the same elevation throughout the three Glades Periods and they reflect the same numeric count changes as those found in the Ridge and Slough through each of the three Glades Periods in succession………….………….………………………………...... 78 (H9) Within the Ridge and Slough, sites are distributed uniformly……… 78 (H10) Large sites are uniformly spaced in relation to each other………... 78 vii (H11) There is a linear pattern of sites leading from the Transverse Glades and rivers toward significant sites in the interior…………... 78 (H12) The distribution and distance between large and small sites 79 exhibits a discernible pattern………………………………….…..

Available at: https://stars.library.ucf.edu/fhq/vol26/iss1/4 Dovell: The Everglades Before Reclamation THE EVERGLADES BEFORE RECLAMATION by J. E. 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.

  • Chapter 17: Archeological and Historic Resources
    Chapter 17: Archeological and Historic Resources Everglades National Park was created primarily because of its unique flora and fauna. In the 1920s and 1930s there was some limited understanding that the park might contain significant prehistoric archeological resources, but the area had not been comprehensively surveyed. After establishment, the park’s first superintendent and the NPS regional archeologist were surprised at the number and potential importance of archeological sites. NPS investigations of the park’s archeological resources began in 1949. They continued off and on until a more comprehensive three-year survey was conducted by the NPS Southeast Archeological Center (SEAC) in the early 1980s. The park had few structures from the historic period in 1947, and none was considered of any historical significance. Although the NPS recognized the importance of the work of the Florida Federation of Women’s Clubs in establishing and maintaining Royal Palm State Park, it saw no reason to preserve any physical reminders of that work. Archeological Investigations in Everglades National Park The archeological riches of the Ten Thousand Islands area were hinted at by Ber- nard Romans, a British engineer who surveyed the Florida coast in the 1770s. Romans noted: [W]e meet with innumerable small islands and several fresh streams: the land in general is drowned mangrove swamp. On the banks of these streams we meet with some hills of rich soil, and on every one of those the evident marks of their having formerly been cultivated by the savages.812 Little additional information on sites of aboriginal occupation was available until the late nineteenth century when South Florida became more accessible and better known to outsiders.

    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.

    Sawyer County Comprehensive Plan – Natural, Cultural & Agricultural Resources January 21, 2010 Natural, Cultural & Agricultural Resources Wisconsin State Statute 66.1001(2)(e) Agricultural, Natural & Cultural Resources A compilation of objectives, policies, goals, maps and programs for the conservation, and promotion of the effective management, of natural resources such as groundwater, forests, productive agricultural areas, environmentally sensitive areas, threatened and endangered species, stream corridors, surface water, floodplains, wetlands, wildlife habitat, metallic and nonmetallic mineral resources consistent with zoning limitations under s.295.20(2), parks, open spaces, historical and cultural resources, community design, recreational resources and other natural resources. INTRODUCTION The protection of natural resources is necessary for the welfare of both people and the environment. By allowing natural processes, such as the hydrologic system, to function without impediment, property, water supply and the environment are protected. The protection of natural resources also preserves important ecological communities. Certain natural resources have more than merely aesthetic and leisure‐time activity values. They are essential to long‐term human survival and the preservation of life, health and general welfare. As such, the protection and management of these resources clearly are in the public interest. Thus, the analysis of those natural resources found within the planning area is done for the purpose of directing development away from those areas not intrinsically suitable for a particular use, or to at least guide development in a direction that is least disruptive. TOPOGRAPHY An undulating plain dissected by many lakes, rivers and streams characterizes the topography of Sawyer County. The northeastern corner of the County is quite hilly and the southwestern corner contains many high quartzite ridges.

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.

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.

  • Chapter 1: the Everglades to the 1920S Introduction
    Chapter 1: The Everglades to the 1920s Introduction The Everglades is a vast wetland, 40 to 50 miles wide and 100 miles long. Prior to the twentieth century, the Everglades occupied most of the Florida peninsula south of Lake Okeechobee.1 Originally about 4,000 square miles in extent, the Everglades included extensive sawgrass marshes dotted with tree islands, wet prairies, sloughs, ponds, rivers, and creeks. Since the 1880s, the Everglades has been drained by canals, compartmentalized behind levees, and partially transformed by agricultural and urban development. Although water depths and flows have been dramatically altered and its spatial extent reduced, the Everglades today remains the only subtropical ecosystem in the United States and one of the most extensive wetland systems in the world. Everglades National Park embraces about one-fourth of the original Everglades plus some ecologically distinct adjacent areas. These adjacent areas include slightly elevated uplands, coastal mangrove forests, and bays, notably Florida Bay. Everglades National Park has been recognized as a World Heritage Site, an International Biosphere Re- serve, and a Wetland of International Importance. In this work, the term Everglades or Everglades Basin will be reserved for the wetland ecosystem (past and present) run- ning between the slightly higher ground to the east and west. The term South Florida will be used for the broader area running from the Kississimee River Valley to the toe of the peninsula.2 Early in the twentieth century, a magazine article noted of the Everglades that “the region is not exactly land, and it is not exactly water.”3 The presence of water covering the land to varying depths through all or a major portion of the year is the defining feature of the Everglades.
