Author(s): Steven Koski; John A. Gifford
Year: 2016
Summary
Underwater excavations in the basin of Little Salt Spring by the University of Miami since 1992 have recovered seven artifacts made from bone, wood, and shell with applied design elements from contexts associated with Early Archaic through Middle Archaic periods. These design elements represent some of the earliest known from Florida; as early as 10560 to 10253 Cal. BP (2‐sigma). An analysis of these artifacts will be presented, with their relative and absolute dates, and compared to regional design traditions.
