Notes

Abstract:
Man has lived within southern Florida for as long as 10.000 years. Although evidence of the earliest occupation is elusive, data reflecting man's most recent 7,000 years in South Florida has increased dramatically in recent years. This paper provides a synthesis of significant research in the region, as well as discussion of the area's basic subsistence and settlement patterns. Also presented is a revised definition of the South Florida cultural areas as suggested by recent archaeological research. ( ,, )
