Description
In the St. Johns River area of Florida, the preceramic period has
been found to have certain different artifact types than the
neighboring Archaic traditions. These different artifact types--
shell gouges and celts--have their closest similarities with types
from the preceramic of Venezuela and Cuba. It was postulated that
the influence for the similar shell tools was derived from the
original settlement of the Caribbean area by migrating groups from
the northern South American coast. It was further postulated that
the original inhabitants of the St. Johns area were part of the
migrating groups and that they arrived in the area probably by way
of the Everglades. Evidence from the Caribbean area preceramic
periods was examined for proof of this migration. Finally, a possible
linguistic relationship with the historic Indians of the St. Johns
area and the Warao of Venezuela Has discussed.
