The History of Florida Archaeology, Part One: Shadows and Spirits of the Past
Who were the first Floridians, where did they come from, what civilizations did they build here, and what was their eventual fate? This lecture will present their story, beginning over ten thousand years ago at the end of the last Ice Age. These people were the paleo-indians, who lived side by side with, and hunted, mammoths, giant sloths, and saber-toothed cats. These hunter-gatherers eventually settled into permanent villages, built temples and burial mounds, and acquired agriculture. These changes lead to the development of higher social organizations including chiefdoms, military, and religious leaders, and culminated in the rise of a number of regional cultures. These regional cultures each had their own unique life ways and distinctive artifacts. These artifacts and the key sites associated with each of these regional cultures will be discussed in this presentation.
