ROLLING OAKS II SITE (8 BD 73): A TEQUESTA SUB-AREA HABITATION SITE
Title
THE ROLLING OAKS II SITE (8 BD 73): A TEQUESTA SUB-AREA HABITATION SITE.
Creator
GRAVES, OTTILIE COSDEN., Florida Atlantic University, Kennedy, William J., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Anthropology
Abstract/Description
The Rolling Oaks II site is one of a series of habitation sites in central Broward County, part of the Tequesta Sub- Area of the Glades Area of South Florida. This report explores the idea that these sites were more than mere hunting camps, but were semi-permanent interrelated inland communities. These sites probably date from the Late Archaic through tho Glades Periods in an uninterrupted sequence based on the ceramics and non-ceramic artifacts recovered.

ORIGIN OF THE ST. JOHNS ARCHAIC (FLORIDA)
Title
ORIGIN OF THE ST. JOHNS ARCHAIC (FLORIDA).
Creator
ANDERSON, NAIN E., Florida Atlantic University, Sears, William H., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Anthropology
Abstract/Description
In the St. Johns River area of Florida, the preceramic period has been found to have certain different artifact types than the neighboring Archaic traditions. These different artifact types-- shell gouges and celts--have their closest similarities with types from the preceramic of Venezuela and Cuba. It was postulated that the influence for the similar shell tools was derived from the original settlement of the Caribbean area by migrating groups from the northern South American coast. It was...
Show moreIn the St. Johns River area of Florida, the preceramic period has been found to have certain different artifact types than the neighboring Archaic traditions. These different artifact types-- shell gouges and celts--have their closest similarities with types from the preceramic of Venezuela and Cuba. It was postulated that the influence for the similar shell tools was derived from the original settlement of the Caribbean area by migrating groups from the northern South American coast. It was further postulated that the original inhabitants of the St. Johns area were part of the migrating groups and that they arrived in the area probably by way of the Everglades. Evidence from the Caribbean area preceramic periods was examined for proof of this migration. Finally, a possible linguistic relationship with the historic Indians of the St. Johns area and the Warao of Venezuela Has discussed.

Behavior patterns in Florida's middle archaic
Title
Behavior patterns in Florida's middle archaic: activity induced articular facets from the Gauthier (SBR-193) Mortuary complex.
Creator
Nelson, Kassandra., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Anthropology
Abstract/Description
This study examines activity induced articular facets and osteoarthritis in the ankle and foot complex of an Archaic hunter-gatherer population from the Gauthier (8BR-193) mortuary complex. To determine the frequency at which these characteristics occur, I scored the tibiae, tali, proximal phalanges, and metatarsals of adults and juveniles using methods developed by Buikstra and Ubelaker (1994) for scoring osteoarthritis and a synthesis of methods developed by Barnett (1954), and Boulle ...

To determine the frequency at which these characteristics occur, I scored the tibiae, tali, proximal phalanges, and metatarsals of adults and juveniles using methods developed by Buikstra and Ubelaker (1994) for scoring osteoarthritis and a synthesis of methods developed by Barnett (1954), and Boulle (2001a; 2001b), Buikstra and Ubelaker (1994). Molleson (1989), Ubelaker (1979), for scoring articular facets. Despite significant skeletal fragmentation observed, articular facets were remarkbly complete, allowing for analysis of joint degeneration. While there does not appear to be a correlation between characteristics, the high prevalence of activity induced articular facets and osteoarthritis is indicative of extreme hyperdorsiflexion. Habitual kneeling and squatting postures are characteristic of hunter-gatherer subsistence activities as suggested by researchers such as Ubelaker (1975), Molleson (1969), and Trinkaus (1975).

Glades period settlement patterns in the Everglades culture area
Title
Glades period settlement patterns in the Everglades culture area.
Creator
Callsen, Paul., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Anthropology
Abstract/Description
The manner in which human settlements are arranged across the landscape holds clues to a society's internal social relationships and may indicate how a society fits into its environment. This research investigates settlement patterns during the formative pre-historic periods in Southeast Florida, the three Glades Periods (BC 500- AD 1750). During this time span, the inhabitants of the region adapted to a changing climate and environment by occupying places that were conducive to their...
Show moreThe manner in which human settlements are arranged across the landscape holds clues to a society's internal social relationships and may indicate how a society fits into its environment. This research investigates settlement patterns during the formative pre-historic periods in Southeast Florida, the three Glades Periods (BC 500- AD 1750). During this time span, the inhabitants of the region adapted to a changing climate and environment by occupying places that were conducive to their particular hunter-gatherer way of life. However, while the Glades people moved from one locale to another, they never altered the manner in which they primarily sought sustenance; fishing and hunting. Evidence suggests substantial population increases beginning in the Glades II Period and shift of habitations due to flooding of earlier and lower sites.
