Description
The West Kendall Tree Island site (8DA1081) is a black dirt midden situated on
the northeast end of an everglades tree island. The site has been intensely disturbed by
excavation pits, particularly on the highest elevations of the site, and becomes
increasingly disturbed by a growing Kendall population. Faunal remains recovered in
2008 are examined to reconstruct past ecological habitats, comparing the faunal
composition to tree island sites within the Florida Everglades. Based upon identifications,
the composition of the site is similar to those of the region, being comprised primarily of
freshwater aquatic species and aquatic reptiles, with minimal selection of terrestrial
faunal resources.
