The Belle Glade Culture Revisited
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 81st Annual Meeting, Orlando, FL (2016)
The Belle Glade culture is one of the least understood prehistoric cultures. The culture area is confined to the bounds of the Kissimmee River valley and Lake Okeechobee basin and terminates somewhere in the northern Everglades. Early investigations lacked the opportunities that methods and theories afford today. Many of the early conclusions regarding this culture were drawn from other regions and applied without the benefit of data-driven testing of these hypotheses. The lectures presented in this symposium will discuss the results and inferences made from recent investigations using modern methodologies in the Belle Glade region.
