Description: Archaeology Lecture Series - Middle Woodland Complexity and Culture Change in Northwest Florida from a Domestic Perspective - Jessica Miller, PhD Candidate, University of South Florida

Throughout the Eastern U.S., the Middle Woodland was a period of increased cultural complexity. This complexity is best identified in the Apalachicola-lower Chattahoochee River region of northwest Florida through the combined presence of Swift Creek Complicated-Stamped ceramics and early Weeden Island ceramic types along with nonlocal trade items, burial mounds, and evidence of elaborate mortuary ritual. The Otis Hare site (8LI172) is a freshwater shell midden on the east bank of the Apalachicola River occupied for over one thousand years, with the most intensive occupation during the Middle Woodland period (A.D. 300-650). The site is used as a case study to characterize the Middle Woodland and examine culture change in the river valley from a domestic perspective.
