Southwest Florida During the Mississippi Period
2 ......... Southwest Florida during the Mississippi Period WILLIAM H. MARQUARDT AND KAREN J. WALKER This book focuses on the Mississippi period, ca. A.D. 1000 to 1500. In the archaeology of the southeastern United States, "Mississippian" generally means chiefdom-level societies that "practiced a maize-based agriculture, constructed (generally) platform mounds for elite residences and vari- ous corporate and public functions, and shared, to a considerable extent, a common suite of artifact types and styles, particularly in the realm of pottery (usually shell-tempered) and certain symbolic or prestige related artifacts" (Welch and Butler 2006: 2). Often implicit is an assumption that Mississippian chiefdoms represent the most complex cultural develop- ments in t he aboriginal southeastern United States. In southwest Florida, their contemporaries had no maize agriculture, constructed no platform mounds, and made a rather undistinguished pot- tery. Even so, Spaniards who encountered the historic Calusa in the six- teenth century observed a stratified society divided into nobles and com- moners, with hereditary leadership, tributary patronage-clientage that extended throughout south Florida, ritual and military specialists, far- ranging trade, an accomplished and expressive artistic tradition, complex religious beliefs and ritual practices, and effective subsistence practices that supported thousands of people and allowed a sedentary residence pattern (Fontaneda 1973; Hann 1991; Solis de Meras 1964). Furthermore, for nearly two centuries after contact, the Calusa maintained their identity and beliefs, effectively repulsing European attempts to conquer and con- vert them to Christianity, while many southeastern United States chief- doms were in cultural ruin within a few decades (Hann 1991). The Calusa heartland was in the coastal region encompassing Charlotte Harbor, Pine Island Sound, San Carlos Bay, and Estero Bay (figure 2.1).

Research Resumes on Useppa Island by Karen Walker and Bill Marquardt
Friends of the Randell Research Center December 2012 • Vol. 11, No. 4 Research Resumes on Useppa Island by Karen Walker and Bill Marquardt In late November, we will return to Useppa Island to resume work in deposits that accumulated there about 3,000 years ago. This work is co-sponsored by the Florida Museum of Natural History’s Randell Research Center (RRC), the Useppa Island Historical Society, and the Useppa Inn and Dock Company. We are grateful to Tim Fitzsimmons and Garfi eld Beckstead of Useppa Island for providing the logistical assistance, lodging, and boat transportation that makes this work possible, and to David and Judy Nutting for permission to work on their property. This work will continue a project initiated in March, 2012, when Useppa residents joined with volunteers from the RRC and archaeologists from the Florida Museum to explore part of Useppa’s Southern Ridge (known locally as the “South Knoll”). One of the most common questions that Useppa passers- Excavations in Useppa’s Southern Ridge, March 2012. by asked us in March was, “Why are you digging at this Pictured (left to right) are John Turck, Ellen Turck, and Bill particular place?” Well, it is not the oldest deposit on Useppa, Marquardt.

The Changing Face of Commercial Fishing in Charlotte Harbor: Triumph of Ice Over Salt Theodore B
The Changing Face of Commercial Fishing In Charlotte Harbor: Triumph of Ice over Salt Theodore B. VanItallie Harbor Habitat “Fishermen go where the fish are” and, by all accounts, the fish populations of Charlotte Harbor in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries were extraordinarily abundant. One of Florida's principal estuaries, the harbor in its pristine state must have provided an ideal habitat for many species of fish. The photic zone—a relatively thin layer of water that can be penetrated by light—is an ocean's primary production area. In the photic zone, growth rate depends on the intensity of light and the supply of available nutrients. When its waters are sufficiently clear and placid, Charlotte Harbor is shallow enough to permit transmission of abundant light to the phytoplankton (minute plant life) and to the sea grasses that provide a habitat favorable to fish. Three major rivers, the Myakka, Peace, and Caloosahatchee, flow into the estuarine system, delivering the nutrients needed to replace those used up by the harbor's teeming marine life. These freshwater streams also provide the zones of reduced salinity that some fish, especially juvenile forms, require. Unfortunately, fish-nursery conditions in Charlotte Harbor are not as favorable as they once were. Ecologists report that, overall, the Harbor's sea-grass meadows declined by about 29% between 1945 and 1982. A little more than half of this reduction was found in Pine Island Sound, Matlacha Pass, and San Carlos Bay. An adverse impact on the estuary's sea grass—probably transient— appears to have resulted from dredging associated with construction of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Sanibel Causeway.

Developing Models of Settlement for the Florida Gulf Coast
Chapter 12 Developing Models of Settlement for the Florida Gulf Coast MICHAEL RUSSO AND IRVY R. QUITMYER One puzzle with which archaeologists struggle is determining when people began to be less mobile and more sedentary. In many parts of the world seden- tism is linked to plant domestication. Residential sedentism without domestic plants is less frequently reported. However, Calusa communities on the south- western Gulf coast of Florida in the 16th century A.D. exhibited many features considered hallmarks of sedentary societies: permanent structures, storage facil- ities, large villages, and large-scale public works in the form of shell and earthen mounds. The Calusa political system maintained hegemony over the entire southern tip of the peninsula (Widmer 1988). Although the Calusa lived in per- manently-occupied villages, domesticated plants were not a significant food source (Scarry and Newsom 1992). Instead, Calusa economies were based on the bountiful, non-domesticated plants and animals of Florida’s coastal estuaries, marshes, and swamps. When did this tradition of sedentism in the absence of a domestic food base appear and how was it supported? This study elaborates upon evidence for early sedentism on the southwestern Gulf coast of Florida and reveals two distinct patterns of bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) collection. EVIDENCE FOR SEASON OF USE Traditional markers of sedentism present difficulties for interpreting archaeolog- ical sites in southwestern Florida (Figure 12-1). “Permanent structures” made of leaves and branches degraded quickly and subterranean storage pits were less 235 236 MICHAEL RUSSO AND IRVY R.

Aboriginal Occupation of Gasparilla Island by Robert F
Aboriginal Occupation of Gasparilla Island By Robert F. Edic Excerpted with permission from Maritime Archaeology of Lemon Bay, Florida, Florida Anthropological Society Publications, No. 14 (Spring 1999) In 1980 I moved to Gasparilla Island. By 1982 I had found an unrecorded aboriginal shell midden on land being cleared for house .construction. By 1989 I had discovered six additional aboriginal sites on Gasparilla Island, and two more on adjacent small islands, Hoagen and Sisters keys. Some of these sites date to c. A.D. 800 - 1500 and reveal that indigenous Florida Indians used Gasparilla Island more intensively than previously known. Environment At the end of the last Ice Age, about 20,000 years ago, the sea level was lower (approximately 200 feet) and Florida's Gulf coast was about 100 miles west of its present location. By 6,000 years ago, rising sea levels had started to inundate the area that is now Charlotte Harbor. Gasparilla Island is part of a chain of barrier islands at the mouth of Charlotte Harbor. The island is of recent origin. Radiocarbon dating of shells from beach-ridge deposits suggests the island is no more than approximately 3,000 years old. An isolated artifact - a chipped-stone projectile point or knife (Bolen Plain) made from fossil (silicified) coral -found on the beach by state park ranger Anne Marie Sampley, probably dates to ca. 7,000 B.C., well before the island formed. There is a general trend for erosion and shoreline recession along the western edge of Gasparilla Island, fronting the Gulf of Mexico. Archaeological sites are lacking there, and it is presumed that erosion has removed evidence of early sites that might have existed.

The Bay of Pigs: Lessons Learned Topic: the Bay of Pigs Invasion
The Bay of Pigs: Lessons Learned Topic: The Bay of Pigs Invasion Grade Level: 9-12 Subject Area: US History after World War II – History and Government Time Required: One class period Goals/Rationale: Students analyze President Kennedy’s April 20, 1961 speech to the American Society of Newspaper Editors in which he unapologetically frames the invasion as “useful lessons for us all to learn” with strong Cold War language. This analysis will help students better understand the Cold War context of the Bay of Pigs invasion, and evaluate how an effective speech can shift the focus from a failed action or policy towards a future goal. Essential Question: How can a public official address a failed policy or action in a positive way? Objectives Students will be able to: Explain the US rationale for the Bay of Pigs invasion and the various ways the mission failed. Analyze the tone and content of JFK’s April 20, 1961 speech. Evaluate the methods JFK used in this speech to present the invasion in a more positive light. Connection to Curricula (Standards): National English Language Standards (NCTE) 1 - Students read a wide range of print and non-print texts to build an understanding of texts, of themselves, and of the cultures of the United States and the world; to acquire new information; to respond to the needs and demands of society and the workplace; and for personal fulfillment. Among these texts are fiction and nonfiction, classic and contemporary works. 3- Students apply a wide range of strategies to comprehend, interpret, evaluate, and appreciate texts.

3,000 Years Ago on Useppa Island David Nutting Funds New Research on Useppa’S Late Archaic
Vol. 6, No. 1 March 2007 3,000 Years Ago on Useppa Island David Nutting Funds New Research on Useppa’s Late Archaic by Bill Marquardt With world-wide attention focused on the issue of global warming, there has never been a greater need for reliable knowledge about climate change. In mid-November, a construction project on Useppa Island provided an opportunity to study both the climate and the culture of Pine Island Sound some 3,000 years ago. 1 Located about 3 ⁄2 miles west of Pineland, Useppa has been studied periodi- cally by archaeologists since 1979. Several houses are to be built on the island by VIP Structures, and Lot III-17 was the first to be affected by heavy machinery. Specifically, some dirt was to be transferred from that lot and used elsewhere. A backhoe cut exposed shells and fish bones—the remnants of many fine seafood meals—as well as a few pieces of ancient pottery and shell tools. At the invitation of the owner, the Randell Research Center’s John Worth and Florida Public Archaeology Network archaeologist Kara Bridgman Sweeney, along with Bill Marquardt and visiting geoarchaeologist Julie Stein, studied the TOP – Visiting archaeologist Julie Stein (left) takes measurements archaeological deposits and removed samples for further analysis. while FPAN archaeologist Kara Bridgman Sweeney sketches the Back at the laboratory, Bill Marquardt and Karen Walker water-screened exposed midden.
