The Civil War Memorial Task Force reconvened in June 2020 to consider supplementary interpretative signage for the Civil War Memorial site. The enclosed report was prepared in September 2020 following the conclusion of a series of meetings held between June and September 2020 during which they deliberated and came to a consensus on a series of recommendations that support and complement their original recommendations provided to the Savannah City Council in December 2017 (adopted by City Council in February 2018). The report addresses recommended next steps for City Council to undertake before considering the recommendations in a formal vote to ensure broad public engagement and citizen input. A brief historical summary of Forsyth Park and the Civil War Memorial site is also included to provide historical context to the recommendations of the Task Force.

    Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports 15 (2017) 73–94 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/jasrep Woodland-period mound building as historical tradition: Dating the mounds MARK and monuments at Crystal River (8CI1) Thomas J. Pluckhahn, Victor D. Thompson ABSTRACT Changes in monumental architecture are fundamental to the theory and practice of archaeology in eastern North America, yet we have rarely examined these changes at spatial and temporal scales commensurate with the lived experience of the people of the past. The problem is exemplified by the transition from conical burial mounds to truncated pyramids, or platform mounds. We report a combined total of 24 radiocarbon dates (10 reported here for first time) and four OSL dates from mounds at the Crystal River site (8CI1) in west-central Florida, among the most diverse Woodland-period mound complexes in the US Southeast. We then review the results of Bayesian modeling of mound construction episodes indicated by geophysical survey, small-diameter coring, and reviews of previous excavation. Finally, we synthesis the modeled start dates for mound construction episodes into a five- phase Bayesian model that allows us to approach mound building at Crystal River as a form of historical tradition characterized by both stasis and rapid change in architectural form. 1. Introduction from burial- to platform-mound architecture was not as tidy as pre- viously assumed. Knight (1990, 2001) presented evidence for Wood- Changes in monumental architecture are fundamental to the theory land-period platform mound building at the Walling site and, drawing and practice of archaeology in eastern North America (Anderson, 2012: from a roster of 55 mounds on 30 sites, went on to describe this as a 85–86), yet we have rarely examined these changes at spatial and “generalized phenomenon,” albeit with great variability in time and temporal scales commensurate with the lived experience of the people form.

It was formulated, through a series of interbureau agreements, for the purpose of recov- ering archeological and paleontological remains that would otherwise be lost as a result of the numerous projects for flood control, irrigation, hydroelectric power, and navigation improvements in the river basins of the United States. Various State and local agencies have assisted in the work. To carry out its part of the joint undertaking, the Smithsonian Institution organized the River Basin Surveys as a unit of the Bureau of American Ethnology. The National Park Service has served as liaison between the various agencies and has provided the Smithsonian Institution with all of the necessary in- formation pertaining to the location of proposed dams and other construction and their priorities. It has also had responsibility for budgeting costs of the program, funds for which are provided in the annual appropriations of the Department of the Interior. The opera- tions of the River Basin Surveys, Smithsonian Institution, have been supported by funds transferred to it from the National Park Service.
