Calusa Mounds and Middens: A Long-Term View
Presenter: William H. Marquardt PhD. The Calusa Indians, “Florida’s first shell people,” witnessed environmental change, created complex societies, and were among the first Native Americans to encounter the Europeans. The shell mounds at Pineland hold many secrets of the Calusa and this presentation will provide information about the nature, function, and diversity of shell mounds in southwest Florida from 6,000 years ago until the time of European contact.
