Evaluating Entheseal Changes from a Commingled and Fragmentary Population: Republic GrovesUnknown Date (has links)
The most direct way available to modern day researchers to reconstruct individual
and population level behavior is to analyze markers of activity from skeletal remains
(Ruff et al., 2004). An analysis of the population at the Republic Groves site (8HR4) was
conducted, using the entheseal change score system, the Coimbra method, developed by
Henderson et al. (2015). This study examined the implication of analyzing a commingled
and fragmentary population with this methodology. Reconstructing specific behavior
cannot be done with this type of approach; however, entheseal changes can be compared
to specific patterns of behavior for consistency. An atlatl was found with the human
remains and thus provided a suggestion of behavior for comparison. Entheses were
chosen in line with a throwing motion of the atlatl and focused exclusively on the
humerus, radius, and ulna. The application of the Coimbra methodology to the Republic
Groves population was successful, at least in part. Overall, there was low variability of
results, mostly 0, some 1, and with very few high 2 scores. The entheseal changes from Republic Groves were consistent with the throwing of an atlatl; however, this does not
mean that this is the only behavior that could have generated that kind of change. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF CERAMIC DISTRIBUTION IN THE EAST OKEECHOBEE AREAUnknown Date (has links)
The East Okeechobee area is situated along the southeast coast of Florida, throughout Palm Beach and Martin Counties, and has proved difficult to access in a broad archaeological context. This is due to the blending of cultural characteristics from the surrounding areas and due to the suspected transitional nature of this region. To gain a better understanding of the cultural composition and interrelations of the East Okeechobee Area, this analysis statistically models, both synchronically and diachronically, the frequencies of ceramic types from multiple archaeological sites in and around this region. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2019. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

BONE TOOLS OF THE HUTCHINSON SITE (8PB17041), PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDAUnknown Date (has links)
The Hutchinson site, a Late Archaic/Early Woodland habitation site first excavated in 2017, produced over a hundred bone tools. This research analyzes the assemblage using morphological, typological, spatial, and statistical methods. By understanding tool manufacture and use at Hutchinson, this analysis illuminates the poorly documented prehistory of the South Florida interior and prehistoric technological adaptation in the absence of lithic material. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (MA)--Florida Atlantic University, 2021. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

A Zooarchaeological Perspective of West Kendall Tree Island Site (8DA1081)Unknown Date (has links)
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. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Osteological Analysis of the Human Remains at Markham Park I and II: Social Standing and Age QuestionsUnknown Date (has links)
This thesis attempts to analyze the osteological material of Markham Parks I and
II, two sites from Broward County, Florida from a bioarchaeological perspective in order
to understand the possible presence of social stratification that existed between both
populations at Markham Park and in line with other Florida populations. The analysis
includes a look at the average stature of both populations through the use of estimation
formulas, as well as taking note of any features on long bones that could denote the
possible presence of injury or nutritional maladies which could be indications of social
hardships. It also includes a close look at dentition for the presence of possible nutritional
deficiencies such as enamel hypoplasias, as well as an analysis to corroborate findings
made in initial reports regarding the cataloging of the remains, particularly in the areas of
MNI and ancestry. Such analysis can hopefully bring further insight into the lifestyles of
those that occupied Florida before contact. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Defining population characteristics of the Belle Glade culture: skeletal biology of Belle Glade mound (8PB41)Unknown Date (has links)
The prehistoric Belle Glade Culture, dwelling around Lake Okeechobee in interior Florida, is one of the most understudied cultures in North America. The purpose of this study is to define population characteristics about this culture through skeletal analysis of the collected remains from the type site for the culture, Belle Glade Mound (8PB41). To address the confounding factors of fragmentation and commingling, recently developed methods, statistical analyses, and specially designed software for such analyses of confounded collections were used in undertaking this study. A biological profile was developed that includes age-at-death estimations, sex estimations, stature estimations, and ancestral estimations in order to create a paleodemographic summary that more adequately describes this unknown population. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015 / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Archaeomalacological Data and Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction at the Jupiter Inlet I Site (8PB34a), Southeast FloridaUnknown Date (has links)
The Jupiter Inlet I site is situated between the Atlantic coast and the Loxahatchee
River in southeast Florida. Although excavations were previously conducted, faunal
remains were not systematically collected until recently. Molluscan remains recovered in
2010 are examined to reconstruct past ecological habitats, identify which water bodies
were used for extracting resources, and document changes in molluscan species over
time. Based upon identifications, only brackish and marine species are represented,
indicating that the Loxahatchee River was brackish rather than freshwater during the time
of occupation and that the site inhabitants were collecting mollusks from both the lagoon
and coastal waters. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Prehistoric trade routes in the Lake Okeechobee Region: evidence from the RItta Island and Kreamer Island sitesUnknown Date (has links)
During pre-Columbian times, the Lake Okeechobee Region was home to people of the Belle Glade culture. The lake provided an area rich in resources that facilitated not only the hunter-gatherer-fisher lifestyle of the people but also supported increased cultural complexity. Over time, people participated in an exchange network, trading materials with cultural groups from a variety of locations. This thesis provides an analysis of those non-local artifacts, their probable points of origins and the type of exchange that facilitated the movement of these goods into the region. / by Gregory J.
