Description
The Miami Circle (8DA12) is a site in downtown Miami, Florida with a unique prehistoric feature. The feature is made up of small post holes which reflect a larger patterned arrangement that resembles a circle, most probably the remnants of a prehistoric structure. The Miami Circle was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 and declared a National Historic Landmark on January 16, 2009. The site has been linked to the Tequesta Indians.
This project utilized chi-square 𝑥2 test of independence statistical analytical methods using data obtained from the Miami Circle site and neighboring sites to determine the logical boundaries of the prehistoric village called Tequesta. Chi-square testing will determine if there is a statistically significant difference between the sites based on calculations of expected and observed frequency for sets of recovered artifacts.
