Politics and production among the Calusa of south Florida
The Calusa of south Florida are unusual, if not unique, by virtue of their status as a sedentary, politically powerful, centralized, stratified, tributary fishing-gathering-hunting society. Information on native south Florida is limited to a few documents, whose principal authors are: Fontaneda (1945), who learned four native dialects while the Calusa’s captive from c. 1550 to 1567; Solís de Merás (1923), whose account focuses on the career of Me…

Collective action, state building, and the rise of the Calusa, southwest Florida, USA
Lightning whelk natural history and a new sourcing method
Artifacts made from sinistral (left-handed) whelk shells are commonly found at inland archaeological sites in eastern North America. Past attempts to source the coast of origin of these marine shells based on chemical analyses have provided tentative results. A knowledge of sinistral whelk natural history is essential before attempting shell sourcing studies. The common occurrence of sinistral whelks in the Gulf of Mexico and their uncommon occur…

The Calusa and prehistoric subsistence in central and south Gulf Coast Florida
A Remote Sensing Perspective on Shoreline Modification, Canal Construction and Household Trajectories at Pineland along Florida's Southwestern Gulf Coast
In 2011, we initiated a geophysical survey of the Pineland Site Complex. The complex is comprised of two imposing residential midden‐mound groups, two sand burial mounds and several linear (and other) middens along previous shorelines, and a canal system that not only integrated features within the site complex, but also served to connect it to the interior of Pine Island and beyond. For 25 years, archaeologists associated with the Florida Museum…
Tracking the Calusa: A Retrospective
In an article published in this journal in 1986, I critically reviewed models of the emergence of the Calusa social formation in southwest Florida. An interdisciplinary project that I hoped would provide detailed information with which to refine those models had just begun, so at the time there were few substantive results. In subsequent years, detailed data gathered by an interdisciplinary team have helped improve the models and also provided so…
Shell Mounds in the Southeast: Middens, Monuments, Temple Mounds, Rings, or Works
Focusing on the southeastern United States, I provide some alternative perspectives on shell mounds previously interpreted as architectural features, temple mounds, and feasting sites. The same pattern of deposition often inferred to indicate mound construction-darker-colored, highly organic strata alternating with lighter-colored, shell-rich strata-can be accounted for by domestic midden accumulation and disposal of refuse away from living areas…

Resolving the Crisis in Archaeological Collections Curation
Professional archaeologists in America seem to have reached a consensus that systematic archaeological collections are vital to current and future comparative research. Current repositories are inadequately designed and insufficiently funded. Minimally, a repository must be housed in a safe, sturdy, secure building equipped to handle curation and conservation as well as special storage functions. It must include areas for collections study and ha…
A Factor Analytic Approach to Seriation
Seriation, a unidimensional ordering technique, is one of archaeology’s oldest and most useful tools. Its mathematical aspects have drawn the attention of mathematicians and statisticians in recent years, even as archaeologists themselves have begun to question its underlying assumptions. In this paper I describe some techniques appropriate at each step in the mathematical seriation problem: discovering trendsensitive variables and ordering items…
