A Good Place to Be: 2015 Phase I Investigations at Wakulla Springs State Park, North Florida.

Summary

Preliminary archaeological investigations took place at Wakulla Springs State Park, in Wakulla County, Florida, during August to September of 2015. The project’s primary objective was to locate areas containing dense artifact clusters, in an effort to proceed with Phase II and Phase III investigations. The abundance of cultural materials found at previously documented sites within the park is a testament to this rich archaeological site, and warrant continued research efforts. Furthermore, few sites are known to exist which show several human occupations spanning from 14,500 years ago to the present. This paper discusses in detail the evidence recovered during these most recent investigations, as well as the innovative recovery methods employed for the project. Research will continue throughout 2019 at multiple locations in the park, using new evidence to achieve narratives which show the relationships between humans and this beautiful habitat, showing why Wakulla Springs has always been "A Good Place To Be".
