    Pierce Mounds Complex an Ancient Capital in Northwest Florida

    Pierce Mounds Complex An Ancient Capital in Northwest Florida Nancy Marie White Department of Anthropology University of South Florida, Tampa [email protected] Final Report to George J. Mahr, Apalachicola, Florida December 2013 ii ABSTRACT The Pierce site (8Fr14), near the mouth of the Apalachicola River in Franklin County, northwest Florida, was a major prehistoric mound center during the late Early and Middle Woodland (about A.D. 200-700) and Mississippian (about A.D. 1000-1500) periods. People lived there probably continuously during at least the last 2000 years (until right before the European invasion of Florida in the sixteenth century) and took advantage of the strategic location commanding the river and bay, as well as the abundant terrestrial and aquatic resources. Besides constructing several mounds for burial of the dead and probably support of important structures, native peoples left long midden (refuse) ridges of shells, animal bones, artifacts and blackened sandy soils, which built up a large and very significant archaeological site. Early Europeans and Americans who settled in the town of Apalachicola recognized the archaeological importance of Pierce and collected artifacts. But since the site and its spectacular findings were published by C.B. Moore in 1902, much information has been lost or misunderstood. Recent investigations by the University of South Florida were commissioned by the property owner to research and evaluate the significance of the site. There is evidence for an Early Woodland (Deptford) occupation and mound building, possibly as early as A.D. 200. Seven of the mounds form an oval, with the Middle Woodland burial mounds on the west side.

I would also like to thank my defense committee, Dr. Anna Agbe-Davies and Dr. Kathleen Duval, for volunteering their time. Finally I would like to thank Dr. Elizabeth Jones who greatly assisted me by translating portions of Dumont’s maps. INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The Natchez settlement, founded in 1716, was one of the many settlements founded by the French in the Louisiana Colony. Fort Rosalie was built to protect the settlers and concessions from the dangers of the frontier. Despite the military presence, the Natchez Indians attacked the settlement and destroyed the most profitable agricultural venture in Louisiana. While this settlement has not been excavated, many first-hand accounts exist documenting events at the settlement. The account this paper is concerned with is the work of Dumont de Montigny, a lieutenant and engineer in the French Army. Dumont spent his time in Louisiana creating plans and drawings of various French establishments, one of which being Fort Rosalie and the Natchez settlement. Upon his return to France, Dumont documented his experiences in Natchez in two forms, an epic poem and a prose memoir. Included in these works were detailed maps of Louisiana and specifically of the Natchez settlement.
