A Typology of Late Archaic Ceramic Evidence from Okeechobee Basin to Determine Regional Interactions

Summary
Analysis of ceramic sherds collected during excavations at the Wedgworth Midden (8PB16175) permits insight into regional interactions during the Late Archaic period. Saint John's Plain, a chalky ware associated with people to the north of the Okeechobee Basin, constitutes a significant proportion of the assemblage and suggests that Late Archaic communities in the Northern Everglades maintained social interactions with people living in the St. Johns River Valley. While preliminary, these patterns offer evidence that south Florida cultures were involved in local and non-local activities that might have included exchange of resources and ideas during the Late Archaic period.
