Book Synopsis Excavations at the Citrus Ridge Component of Coastal Southwest Florida's Pineland Site Complex by : Melissa A. Ayvaz
Download or read book Excavations at the Citrus Ridge Component of Coastal Southwest Florida's Pineland Site Complex written by Melissa A. Ayvaz. This book was released on 2014. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological excavations were conducted at the Citrus Ridge component of southwest Florida's Pineland Site Complex in 2011 to address the hypothesis that a major hurricane impacted the site and its Native American inhabitants during the 4th Century A.D. This thesis situates the project within cultural and environmental contexts and discusses previous research relevant to the current study. The complexity of deposits encountered, along with an unexpected discovery in the uppermost strata, led the project to evolve into a more generalized, multi-temporal look at the historical ecology of Citrus Ridge. Based on the analysis of stratification, artifacts, faunal assemblages, and radiocarbon dates, Citrus Ridge is determined to be a partly anthropogenic and partly natural landform containing cultural deposits that range from A.D. 160 to A.D. 1260.

Book Synopsis The Archaeology of Human-Environmental Dynamics on the North American Atlantic Coast by : Leslie Reeder-Myers
Download or read book The Archaeology of Human-Environmental Dynamics on the North American Atlantic Coast written by Leslie Reeder-Myers. This book was released on 2019-11-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using archaeology as a tool for understanding long-term ecological and climatic change, this volume synthesizes current knowledge about the ways Native Americans interacted with their environments along the Atlantic Coast of North America over the past 10,000 years. Leading scholars discuss how the region’s indigenous peoples grappled with significant changes to shorelines and estuaries, from sea level rise to shifting plant and animal distributions to European settlement and urbanization. Together, they provide a valuable perspective spanning millennia on the diverse marine and nearshore ecosystems of the entire Eastern Seaboard—the icy waters of Newfoundland and the Gulf of Maine, the Middle Atlantic regions of the New York Bight and the Chesapeake Bay, and the warm shallows of the St. Johns River and the Florida Keys. This broad comparative outlook brings together populations and areas previously studied in isolation. Today, the Atlantic Coast is home to tens of millions of people who inhabit ecosystems that are in dramatic decline. The research in this volume not only illuminates the past, but also provides important tools for managing coastal environments into an uncertain future. A volume in the series Society and Ecology in Island and Coastal Archaeology, edited by Victor D. Thompson
