Abstract
By 1000 BC prehistoric adaptation to the wetlands of South Florida was complete. A comprehensive assemblage of tools and artifacts had been developed from local resources, such as shell, bone, and wood. These raw materials were used for local artifact assemblages because hard stone, such as chert, does not occur in South Florida. Pottery manufacturing begins by 1000 BC and continues through the Glades III period, with a discussion of the distinctive types used by archaeologists to identify chronological periods and regional variations. Zooarchaeological studies are highlighted revealing trends and patterns in coastal versus Everglades subsistence. Solution hole interments and midden burials continue through the Glades period but the introduction of burial mounds—including rock mounds—begins during this period.
