  • 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.

  • 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).
