Weeden Island on the Northern Gulf Coast: The Garden Patch (8DI4)Site

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm

Location: Weedon Island Preserve, 1800 Weedon Dr NE St. Petersburg, 33702

Description: Neill Wallis, Ph.D., Florida Museum of Natural History

The Garden Patch site is a Woodland-period residential and ceremonial complex in Horseshoe Beach, Florida. Recent investigations by the Florida Museum of Natural History reveal that the six mounds and circular village were constructed quickly around AD 300 and occupied by a substantial population. New data from Garden Patch will be the basis for discussing the implications of
similarities to other major Swift Creek and Weeden Island sites on the Gulf coast and beyond, as well as evidence of social interactions between them.
