Description
Through controlled stratigraphic excavations, surface collections and
published reports, a coastal Belle Glade settlement pattern and cultural
complex is reconstructed. This site was continually occupied
for a period of about 1,000 years. A population increase and an increase
in socio-political complexity coincides with a change in the
subsistence base at this complex during the Glades I period. This
same economic change is noted in many middens along the Florida east
coast and is believed to have been caused by the introduction of agriculture.
This was accompanied by a religious movement in which mound
construction and burial within these mounds were practiced. The
diffusion of this economic-ceremonial complex was from the Lake
Okeechobee area where it developed during the Hopewell period.
