Alternative 10 and the proposed pond sites are situated between SR 30 / US 98 and SR 79 in Sections 7, 8, 16 and 17 of Township 2 South, Range 16 West and Sections 1-5, 7 and 8 of Township 2 South, Range 17 West in southwestern Bay County and Sections 12-14, 22 and 23 of Township 3 South, Range 18 West in southeastern Walton County (Figure 1-1). In March 2017, Alternative 10 was realigned to the south because it intersected Steel Field Road near the Bay County Landfill and to eliminate several curves north of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. After realignment, Alternative 10 generally follows its original alignment from SR 79 to Kelly Pond. South of Kelly Pond, the new alignment follows Alternatives 6 and 7. The results of this assessment should be considered as an update to the 2012 assessment for the original nine alternatives (ACI 2012). Fieldwork for sections of the realigned Alternative 10 was conducted by Atkins in October and November 2016. A total of 182 shovel tests were excavated along the approximately 12.5-mile- long, 350-foot wide alternative APE. In March 2017 an additional 8 shovel tests were excavated in the along a section of Alternative 10 that was moved south due to its proximity to Steel Field Road. Fieldwork for the stormwater pond sites was conducted in January 2018. A total of 68 shovel tests were excavated at the stormwater pond sites. During the 2012 assessment ACI excavated a total 153 shovel tests in or adjacent to the previous alignment of Alternative 10. No cultural material or intact cultural deposits were encountered. No further archaeological investigations are recommended for this alternative. The new alternative does intersect the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (8BY1565/8WL2584). However, it is our opinion that the evaluated alternative of the West Bay Parkway, Segment 1 will have no effect on the attributes which may contribute to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) eligibility of this or any other historic property. Cultural Resources Survey Update, 1 Cultural Resource Assessment Survey West Bay Parkway (CR 388), Segment 1 from SR 30 (US 98) to SR 79, Walton and Bay Counties, Florida SECTION 1.0 PROJECT DETAILS 1.1 PROJECT LOCATION Alternative 10 of the West Bay Parkway, Segment 1 and the proposed stormwater pond sites are situated between SR 30 / US 98 and SR 79 in Sections 7, 8, 16 and 17 of Township 2 South, Range 16 West and Sections 1-5, 7 and 8 of Township 2 South, Range 17 West in southwestern Bay County and Sections 12-14, 22 and 23 of Township 3 South, Range 18 West in southeastern Walton County (Figure 1-1). 1.2 PURPOSE AND NEED OF THE PROJECT The primary purpose of all West Bay Parkway, Segment 1 alternatives is to provide access to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (NWFBIA) for travelers from the coastal areas of Walton County by connecting to existing SR 388 (previously CR 388) at SR 79 in Bay County and to provide an alternative hurricane evacuation route for residents of coastal Walton County, who are limited to SR 83 (US 331) across Choctawhatchee Bay. Currently SR 83 (US 331) is the only northbound route from coastal Walton County. The secondary purpose of the project is to avoid adding to future congestion on SR 30/SR 30A (US 98) by diverting through- traffic around Panama City Beach and Panama City. The proposed transportation improvement would improve access to intermodal and freight activity centers, especially the new NWFBIA; enhance regional connectivity; accommodate future traffic demand; improve emergency evacuation rates; provide congestion relief to parallel facilities; be consistent with comprehensive planning policies, goals and objectives; improve traffic safety; and add to the interconnectivity of the bicycle and pedestrian network. In addition, the proposed project is consistent with the Long Range Transportation Plans (LRTP) of the Bay County Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) and the Okaloosa-Walton TPO. 1.3 AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECT The Area of Potential Effect (APE) has been defined for this project to consider potential direct and indirect (secondary) effects. The APE for this project is considered to be the approximately 350-foot wide project alternative buffer and the footprint of the pond sites depicted in Figure 1-1 and Appendix B. Alternative 10 traverses an undeveloped area north and west of the communities of West Bay, Panama City Beach and Inlet Beach. The general project area consists of predominantly double-bedded planted pine, areas of recently harvested pine, and small, isolated areas of native vegetation adjacent to several drainages, cypress domes, swamps and ponds. Representative photographs of the project area are included in Appendix A.

    LATE MISSISSIPPIAN CERAMIC PRODUCTION ON ST. CATHERINES ISLAND, GEORGIA Anna M. Semon A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Anthropology. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Vincas P. Steponaitis C. Margaret Scarry R. P. Stephen Davis Anna Agbe-Davis John Scarry © 2019 Anna M. Semon ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Anna M. Semon: Late Mississippian Ceramic Production on St. Catherines Island, Georgia (Under the direction of Vincas P. Steponaitis) This dissertation examines Late Mississippian pottery manufacturing on St. Catherines Island, Georgia. Data collected from five ceramic assemblages, three village and two mortuary sites, were used to characterize each ceramic assemblage and examine small-scale ceramic variations associated with learning and making pottery, which reflect pottery communities of practice. In addition, I examined pottery decorations to investigate social interactions at community and household levels. This dissertation is organized in six chapters. Chapter 1 provides the background, theoretical framework, and objectives of this research. Chapter 2 describes coastal Georgia’s culture history, with focus on the Mississippian period. Chapters 3 and 4 present the methods and results of this study. I use both ceramic typology and attribute analyses to explore ceramic variation. Chapter 3 provides details about the ceramic typology for each site. In addition, I examine the Mississippian surface treatments for each assemblage and identified ceramic changes between middle Irene (A.D. 1350–1450), late Irene (A.D. 1450–1580), and early Mission (A.D. 1580–1600) period.

  • Coastal Subsistence and Settlement Systems on the Northern Gulf
    COASTAL SUBSISTENCE AND SETTLEMENT SYSTEMS ON THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO, USA by CARLA JANE SCHMID HADDEN (Under the Direction of Elizabeth J. Reitz) ABSTRACT This research presents a synthesis of the zooarchaeology and site seasonality data for the northern Gulf of Mexico from the Late Archaic through Woodland periods (ca. 5000 B.C. to A.D. 1100). Three questions are addressed: (1) Was the coast occupied on a seasonal basis? (2) Were there one or many coastal subsistence strategies? (3) Were coastal economies and ecosystems stable over the scale of millennia? Archaeological data suggest the coastal zone was not wholly abandoned during any season of the year, although sites varied throughout the year in terms of population density, intensity of site use, or intensity of fishing and shellfishing efforts. There were at least three patterns of animal exploitation on the Gulf Coast: specialized estuarine shellfishing, generalized estuarine fishing, and generalized marine shellfishing. Specialized estuarine shellfishing, a pattern focused on intensive exploitation of oysters, was an early and long-lived adaptation to highly productive salt marsh habitats. Subsistence strategies diversified during the Woodland period, shifting from intensive exploitation of salt marshes to extensive exploitation of an array of estuarine and marine habitats. Marked variability among contemporaneous sites over small geographic scales suggests that coastal dwellers had access to different resources by virtue of their proximity to habitats and resource patches, perhaps reflecting cultural attitudes towards access rights, ownership, and territoriality. Different resources also required different procurement techniques and technologies, and had different potential uses. These distinctions likely influenced the formation of place-based social identities, as well as involvements in local and regional exchange networks.

    DEFENDING AND PROVISIONING THE CATAWBA NATION: AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE MID-EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY COMMUNITIES AT NATION FORD Mary Elizabeth Fitts A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Anthropology. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: C. Margaret Scarry R.P. Stephen Davis Brett H. Riggs Silvia Tomášková Margaret Wiener Kathleen DuVal © 2015 Mary Elizabeth Fitts ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARY ELIZABETH FITTS: Defending and Provisioning the Catawba Nation: An Archaeology of the Mid-Eighteenth-Century Communities at Nation Ford (Under the Direction of C. Margaret Scarry) In the mid-eighteenth century, several Catawba communities were situated near Nation Ford, where the main trading path that traversed the southern Appalachian Piedmont crossed the Catawba River. Men from these communities had adopted a militaristic strategy of serving as auxiliaries for the English colonies. The alliance between the Catawba Nation and South Carolina, in particular, precipitated a set of processes that transformed the conditions of daily life near Nation Ford. Two of these processes were settlement aggregation and the incorporation of native refugee communities. In this dissertation I consider whether the political process of centralization through which refugees were incorporated into the Catawba Nation was accompanied by parallel changes in economic organization, particularly with regard to foodways. I also examine the impacts of settlement aggregation on the formulation of community identities and the farming and foraging practices of Catawba women. In addressing these topics, I consult primary documents to assess the character of the alliance between the English colonies and the Catawba Nation, and to trace the development of the Catawba’s role as auxiliaries.

  • Chapter 4. NORTHWEST FLORIDA, 2500 B.P.-A.D. 1000 the Cultures Of
    Chapter 4. NORTHWEST FLORIDA, 2500 B.P.-A.D. 1000 The cultures of northwest Florida during the Woodland period are known as Deptford (2500 B.P.-A.D. 100), Santa Rosa (A.D. 100-300), Swift Creek (A.D. 100-300), and Weeden Island (A.D. 300-900). As elsewhere in the Southeast, these post-Archaic cultures are characterized by the appearance of elaborate ceremonial complexes, mound burial, permanent settlements, population growth, increasing reliance on cultigens, and increasing sociopolitical complexity. The Setting Northwest Florida consists of the sixteen counties west of the Aucilla River and includes two distinct physiographic regions: the coastal lowland zone and the interior uplands. The coast is dominated by open beaches with dune ridges backed by lagoons. The low numbers of older reported archaeological sites on the coast, in contrast to the many more recent sites, may be in part related to the rise in sea level that probably inundated many sites. It is estimated that sea level on the Gulf coast of northern Peninsular Florida has risen two meters over the last 2000 years. The upland areas in northwest Florida are drained by a number of rivers, the largest of which are the Apalachicola and the Escambia. Most reported Woodland period sites in northwest Florida are associated with riverine and coastal environments, while inland non-riverine areas were thought to be virtually barren of Woodland period occupation (an exception is the Torreya Ravines region). Recent cultural resource management (CRM) surveys in the Apalachicola National Forest have demonstrated that resources associated with the inland pine forests supplemented the subsistence needs of populations in the river valleys to varying degrees through time (Forney 1985; White 1981).
