Episodic complexity and the emergence of a coastal kingdom: Climate, cooperation, and coercion in Southwest Florida
Discovering San Antón de Carlos: The Sixteenth-Century Spanish Buildings and Fortifications of Mound Key, Capital of the Calusa
Collective action, state building, and the rise of the Calusa, southwest Florida, USA
East-central Florida pre-Columbian wood sculpture: Radiocarbon dating, wood identification and strontium isotope studies
The Calusa and prehistoric subsistence in central and south Gulf Coast Florida
Experimental investigation of pathogenic stress on phytolith formation in Cucurbita pepo var. texana (wild gourd)
“Gods… Adorned with the Embroiderer’s Needle”: The Materials, Making and Meaning of a Taino Cotton Reliquary
A unique cotton Taíno reliquary—the only extant example currently known—provides an unprecedented window onto the complex mortuary and ritual ceremonies of the pre-Hispanic Caribbean. This study explores its cultural context as recorded by the early Spanish and French chroniclers and missionaries who were witness to the use and beliefs surrounding these objects in both the Greater and Lesser Antilles. It provides the first AMS radiocarbon date fo…
Paleoenvironmental catastrophies on the Peruvian coast revealed in lagoon sediment cores from Pachacamac
Using hearths for temper: Petrographic analysis of Middle Woodland charcoal-tempered pottery in Northeast Florida
On Land and Sea: Native American Uses of Biological Resources in the West Indies
Prehispanic Social and Cultural Changes at Tibes, Puerto Rico
we present here the initial results of the Proyecto Arqueológico del Centro Ceremonial de Tibes. The aim of the project is to study changes in the social, political, and economic systems at Tibes, the earliest civic and ceremonial center in the Caribbean. Tibes was founded as a village around A.D. 1, and sometime between A.D. 600 and A.D. 900 experienced major changes that eventually resulted in the development of a center with multiple ball cour…

The Yuchi Town Site (1RU63), Russell County, Alabama: An Assessment of the Impacts of Looting
Yuchi Town is a large, late prehistoric and historic site located in a remote area of Fort Benning, GA. The site has escaped serious impacts from development or military training, but has, in recent years, become the focus of extensive illegal looting. To collect information needed for future management efforts, Fort Benning sponsored an archaeological assessment of the site. The primary focus of this investigation was to document the nature and …
Case Studies in Environmental Archaeology: Interdisciplinary Contributions to Archaeology
ment relationship as well as address a need to truly integrate environmental data with research in problem-oriented archaeology. The multidisciplinary, team-based character of environmental archaeology, in the view of the assemblers of this anthology, embraces aspects of earth and biological sciences in a pursuit of an understanding of behavior sensu lato embedded in the archaeological record. It is an archaeology that looks beyond the material c…
Tropical Archaeobotany: Applications and New Developments
Subsistence in the Florida Archaic: The Stable-Isotope and Archaeobotanical Evidence from the Windover Site
A paleodietary analysis of the mid-Holocene mortuary site, Windover (8BR246), based on carbon and nitrogen bone-collagen values and archaeobotanical information is consistent with a subsistence strategy that utilized river-dwelling fauna and a range of terrestrial flora, such as grapes and prickly pear. The isotopic analysis does not support the extensive human dietary use of either marine mammals or classic terrestrial fauna such as deer or rabb…
A 7,290-Year-Old Bottle Gourd from the Windover Site, Florida
A bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) recovered from a burial context at the Windover site (8 BR246) in east-central Florida has been dated directly to 7,290 ± 120 radiocarbon years B.P. This provides the earliest documentation of bottle gourds north of Mexico and demonstrates approximate contemporaneity with other eastern United States Cucurbitacae. Investigations of wet sites such as Windover, while requiring substantially greater consideration …
