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.

He has done it all, from wrestling the surly reptiles in front of gaping spectators and rais- ing the mega-lizards from birth to nursing some really sickly saurians back Colorado Gator Farmers to health. Unlike many alligator wrestlers, though, Jay has yet to have a close encounter with the scaly beastie in its natural habitat. But then again, one doesn’t encounter too many wild gators — in Colorado. As the main alligator wrangler out west, it was Jay who got the call to bring one to New Mexico last November. The caller was Seminole Chief Jim Billie who wanted to bring a live gator on stage with him at the Native American Music Awards (NAMA) in Albuquerque, N.M. A few hours after the Chief called, Jay, 25, and Paul Wertz, 28, of Colorado Gators were carry- ing an eight-foot gator to the stage while the Chief performed his signature song “Big Alligator” to a frenzied, sold out Popejoy Hall crowd at the University of New Mexico. Chief Billie returned the favor last week by having the two young men, Jay’s pregnant wife, Cathy, and Paul’s fiancée, Fawn, flown to Big Cypress, Florida for some real live gator huntin.’ Chief Billie — along with experienced gator-men Joe Don Billie, Danny Johns, and Roscoe Coon — took the Coloradoans down Snake Road to a spot near the Seminole/Miccosukee reservation line where a fairly large gator had been spotted ear- lier on the bank of the canal.

  • Paleoethnobotanical Investigations at Fort Center (8GL13), Florida
    Paleoethnobotanical Investigations at Fort Center (8GL13), Florida Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Hannah Ruth Morris, B.A. Graduate Program in Anthropology The Ohio State University 2012 Thesis Committee Kristen J. Gremillion, Advisor Victor D. Thompson, Advisor Julie Field Copyright by Hannah R. Morris 2012 Abstract Archaeologists have long been interested in the emergence and development of social complexity. Traditional progressive theories of cultural evolution link socio-political complexity with agriculture. Recent research on groups called complex hunter-gatherers provides support for the idea that agriculture is not necessary for social complexity. This topic is addressed by examining plant use at Fort Center, an archaeological site in Southwestern Florida. Fort Center was first occupied around cal. 750 B.C., and earlier researchers proposed that the prehistoric inhabitants of the site cultivated maize (see Sears 1982). This thesis addresses the use of plants, including maize, at the site. The results of the macrobotanical analysis of samples from 2010 excavations do not support earlier claims that maize was cultivated during the prehistoric occupation of Fort Center. These results have implications for the way we view complex hunter- gatherers in North America. ii Dedication I would like to dedicate this thesis to my families, by blood, choice, and circumstance. To my first family – Pop, Mom, Aura, Sara, Brannen, Chelsea, Megan, Angie, and Josh – without you I would have never made it through this thesis. To my AMNH family – I would not be where I am without your inspiration, guidance, and advice.

University of Central Florida, 2015 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Anthropology in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2019 ` ABSTRACT Tampa Bay and the broader Central Gulf Coast region of Florida bear evidence of site reduction and population decline during the onset of the Late Woodland period (AD 500-1000). Concomitantly, Weeden Island culture flourished to the north, while climatic instability loomed to the south. It is unclear if the site abandonments in the area between the two are related to social or cultural change, an unstable climate, or a combination thereof. Interdisciplinary research has provided evidence for climate change and sea level regression during the sixth and seventh centuries in Southwest Florida, but these variables have yet to be investigated in Tampa Bay.
