FAS 2014 AUTHORS, TITLES, AND ABSTRACTS
Arbuthnot, Michael and Michael Faught (SEARCH, SAAA; SEARCH)
Spring Surprise:  The Lessons Learned and Unexpected Results of the Chassahowitzka
Headsprings Archaeological Assessment and Monitoring Project.
In 2013 SEARCH conducted underwater archaeological investigations and monitoring at the
Chassahowitzka Headsprings in Citrus County. Although the initial underwater survey yielded a
sparse artifact count, hundreds of rare objects were recovered during the monitoring phase,
including a Suwannee projectile point, a bone fishhook, an intact Pasco Plain bowl, Spanish
majolica fragments, hand-carved wooden paddles, a large wooden fin effigy and over 100 bottles
dating from 1885 to present. The project is important not only for the cultural materials it
produced, but for the lessons learned; the results of which will undoubtedly influence future
compliance work in Florida springs.
Ashley, Keith and Robert Thunen (University of North Florida; University of North Florida)
The Grant Mound: Other End of the Mill Cove Complex.
Recent research by the University of North Florida has spotlighted excavations at Kinzey’s Knoll,
a St. Johns II ritual midden deposited adjacent to the Shields Mound at the eastern end of the Mill
Cove Complex. Focus here shifts to the historically better known Grant Mound, located 750
meters to the west. Renowned for its copper plates and other Mississippian world artifacts
recovered by C. B. Moore in the early 1890s, the Grant Mound has been the scene of limited
testing since the late 1980s. This paper reviews previous work at Grant and sets the stage for
future research.
Austin, Robert and Angela Matusik (SEARCH, CGGAS; SEARCH )
Galena Distribution in Florida: Implications for Prehistoric Trade.
The geographic distribution of galena from 52 archaeological sites (Late Archaic through late
Mississippi periods) is discussed in terms of potential routes of exchange. The data suggest
galena was transported from source locations in Missouri along 1) major north-south rivers in the
panhandle (e.g., Apalachicola), then along the northern and central Gulf coasts, and 2) the
Atlantic coast to the St. Johns River, then south along the Kissimmee River. These are similar to
the routes proposed by Sassaman (1993) and Yates (2000) for Late Archaic steatite exchange,
implying long-standing economic and social relations between Florida and the interior Southeast.
Bendig, Charles (University of West Florida, PAS, student paper competition)
Heart of the Ship: Locating the Mainmast Step and Bilge Pump on the Emanuel Point II
Shipwreck.
In 200 , the University of West Florida’s maritime archaeological field school
located the Emanuel Point II shipwreck. Emanuel Point II is one of several shipwrecks
from the 1559 Tristán de Luna expedition to colonize Pensacola. Subsequent field
seasons have located the bow and stern of the vessel. However, the mainmast step has
remained elusive for investigators. Possible evidence for the pump well was discovered
during the 2013 field season. Based on this most recent find, the author has collected data from
contemporary shipwrecks in order to produce a probable location of the mainmast step for field
testing in 2014.

Bernhardt, Arielle (New College of Florida, student paper competition)
Public Archaeology on Private Property: A Case study of Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of
Youth.
As Florida celebrates the 500th anniversary of Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon, several locations
memorialize his landing. This project focuses on one such park, Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of
Youth Archaeological Park in St. Augustine, Florida. Through participant observation and
unstructured interviews, I examine why people visit the park, how people use the park, and what
the park has to offer in terms of public archaeology. I apply the collected data to an analysis of
the park’s spatial dynamics, the Fountain of Youth Myth, and public archaeology to answer the
question of Ponce de Leon’s relevance to the park.
Birnbaum, David (Southern Illinois University, student paper competition)
Ceramic Technology and Cultural Identity in a Malabar-Period Context.
Early conventions of Culture-Historical archaeology in Florida’s Indian River Region have
persisted throughout the twentieth century and into the present. The definition of cultural groups
based on typological classifications of pottery is problematic. These interpretations have created a
body of literature that wavers in its use of terminology dealing with prehistoric cultural identities.
Traditional ceramic typologies focusing on the superficial stylistic characteristics of pottery have
hindered the notion of a distinct Indian River culture. This perspective is evaluated through
investigating potential material differentiations of cultural identity by using a practice-oriented
approach in the analysis of St. Johns pottery.
Butler, David and Ryan Murphy (Butler CRM; Sarasota County Archaeologist)
A Preliminary Analysis of the Shell Tool Assemblage from the Blueberry Site (8HG678).
This presentation will report on the analysis of a targeted sample of the shell tool assemblage
from the Blueberry site (8HG 78) in Highlands County, FL.  This analysis will summarize the
diversity present in this preliminary sample and describe tool types according to previously
established typology.  This sample includes tools as well as items of personal adornment.  
Butler, David (Poster presenter; Butler CRM)
A Preliminary Analysis of a Fertility Fetish from Mound B at the Blueberry Site.
This poster provides an initial assessment of a Fertility Fetish discovered at the Blueberry site
(8HG678). This carved egg-shaped sandstone artifact contains numerous symbolic carvings
depicting elements of nature and animals associated with fertility in the Southeast. This artifact
features symbolic carving of lightning and the sun, as well as figurative portrayals of animals
previously observed as wood carvings from sites in South Florida.
Cook, Gregory (University of West Florida)
“Top Secret” Maritime Archaeology: Preliminary Investigations on the San Pablo, Sunk
During an OSS Operation in 1944 Offshore of Pensacola, Florida.
As one of the many popular diving spots in Northwest Florida, divers have been visiting the site
of the San Pablo for decades. Little was known about the vessel's history until recent research
revealed the large, steel-hulled freighter was sunk in a top secret OSS operation known as Project
Campbell. The project involved the development of a disguised, remote-controlled vessel
carrying explosives capable of attacking and sinking enemy vessels, and it was intended to be
deployed during the invasion of Japan toward the end of World War II. The University of West
12
Florida has initiated a research program focusing on the remains of the San Pablo, and this
presentation provides an overview of Project Campbell and our preliminary work on the wreck
site.
Cox, Katherine (Florida International University, student paper competition)
Trends in Immigrations Enforcement in the State of Florida.
Florida is a state that is uniquely influenced by the influx of Latin American immigrants.  Often,
there are racial and socioeconomic differences between these groups which leads to some
tensions and inequalities.  The aim of this research is to discover how immigrants are being
apprehended and subsequently deported throughout the state of Florida. Further, we want to
determine if certain immigrant populations in Florida are treated differently than others. We
investigated various characteristics of the detained immigrants at Broward Transitional Center by
creating a database of intakes collected during interviews in which free legal consultations were
provided.
Dearr, Juliana (New College of Florida, student paper competition)
Food Scarcity and Community Agency.
The quality and availability of food is a hot topic in America today. Poor nutrition, particularly in
economically distressed areas, reinforces and maintains the violent cycle of poverty, as nutrition
problems increase the risk of chronic health conditions. This thesis focuses on the issues
surrounding food access in Newtown, the Historic Black Neighborhood of Sarasota, FL. It
incorporates activist anthropologist methods by combining participant observation with
interviews and quantitative data collection as research. Social inequalities rooted in Florida’s
racist history are partly to blame for the current food landscape. These inequalities are
perpetuated as discrimination and inequality persist into the 21st century. In the face of
inequality, Newtown residents developed networks of community care and safety nets maintained
by community members. Today, local consumption of healthy food is hindered by the sparse
availability of fresh food, the prevalence of junk food at convenience stores, below-average
transportation, and consumer choice. Consumer choices are affected by time constraints,
knowledge of food preparation, and cost of food. These barriers must be addressed to create
systemic improvements to the welfare of this community. Several community-based
organizations, particularly the Community Health Action Team (CHAT) and Orange Blossom
Community Garden, are approaching these problems with education initiatives and mobilization
efforts. Local non-profits and government agencies are also approaching the problem with
education and other resources. The biggest struggle these improvement groups are now facing is
the reluctance of Newtown residents to take advantage of the resources offered.

The Last Supper: An Analysis of Faunal Remains from the Oakland Hotel Prior to the
Transformation of the Lake Apopka Basin.
This paper presents the results of faunal analysis from archaeological excavation of several trash
middens dating from the midJ1930s to the earlyJ1940s at the Oakland Hotel site near Lake
Apopka. By integrating the archaeological data with historical documentation, we have derived
insight into patterns of food procurement, preparation, consumption, and discarding at the
Oakland Hotel prior to the anthropogenic induced changes to Lake Apopka starting in 1941. This
research contributes to an applied understanding of the relationship between leisure and
environmental change in the context of Central Florida tourism.

Dunbar, James (PAST)
The Demise of Keystone Species and Their Effect on Fire Frequency and Surface Water
Regimes in Pleistocene Florida.
The late Pleistocene Southeast had the greatest number and diversity of animal species compared
to the rest of North America. By the beginning of the Holocene, the extinction or extirpation of
species was greatest in the Southeast. Although many researchers have theorized that wild fire
regimes increased due to humans, there is another, more subtle explanation. At the same time
many Florida river systems transformed from anastomosing to entrenched channel systems during
the Holocene. Could it have been the diminishing population of two keystone species affected by
humans, rather than people themselves, that were the inadvertent agents of habitat change?

Fradkin, Arlene (Florida Atlantic University)
Fishing to Survive: Minorcans in Britian's Smyrnea Settlement, Florida, 1766-1777.
Established by Dr. Andrew Turnbull, a Scottish physician and entrepreneur, the Smyrnea
settlement was an agricultural enterprise that existed from 1766 to 1777 during the British
occupation of Florida. Turnbull recruited approximately 1,100 indentured servants from the
Mediterranean island of Minorca along with an additional 300 from Greece, Italy, Corsica, and
Turkey. Within the Smyrnea settlement, the developing cohesion of these various Mediterranean
groups over time eventually led to the emergence of a distinctive "Minorcan" cultural community
on the Florida frontier. Although there is substantial historical documentation pertaining to this
settlement, archaeologists have only recently begun to uncover its structural and material cultural
remains and add to our knowledge of colonial life in eighteenth-century Smyrnea. Analysis of the
zooarchaeological assemblage from the Turnbull Colonist's House site, the first residence to be
discovered, indicates that British food supplies were indeed inadequate and that the colonists took
the initiative in securing protein in their diet primarily by fishing in local estuarine waters.

Gentrification in the arts district of Miami’s Wynwood.
Cities across America are experiencing change in their demographic and consumer base. This
often non-inclusive process is known as gentrification and the city of Miami has neighborhoods
experiencing this phenomenon. Neighborhoods in Miami’s downtown have been transitioning
due to major investment and renewed interest from local residents and international speculation.
This study focuses on Wynwood, a once impoverished Midtown warehouse district with
residential areas in its peripheries, now a booming, highly frequented tourist attraction. The data
used comes from Census, fannie mae, and interviews with costumers, with the intention of
understanding what Wynwood means to its residents and patrons.

The Political Ecology/Economy and Semiotics of Food Consumption: A Story of Heirloom
Cultivars.
The anthropological study of food reveals the power of cumulative tradition to shape food
behavior. Through processes of production and consumption, food refers to a larger set of themes
and situations within the social environment, implying a system of communication and
signification. Through participant observation and ethnographic interviews, I track the dynamic
14
political and personal meanings of ‘heirloom’ through the supply chain. Following ‘heirloom’
cultivars through a ‘locally conscious’ restaurant in the Tampa Bay Area, this paper analyzes the
political economy/ecology of food communication in relation to conservation of agrobiodiversity
Harke, Ryan (FPAN)
Towards a Public Environmental Archaeology: Survey and Suggestion.
FPAN is a 9-year experiment in the programming of full-time public archaeologists and thus, the
accomplishments that such an organization could achieve. As a result of this multi-year
experience, we suggest that long-term, effective public archaeology is more easily achieved under
models that employ full-time staff. Although the numerous workshops, trainings and partnerships
are immensely successful in supporting outreach goals, surveys of research in ecological
archaeology and the success of environmental education reveal the untapped potential for
collaboration between environmental science programmers and public archaeologists. This
interdisciplinary effort is imperative to highlight the historical impacts of humans on the natural
environment, and how archaeology is useful in addressing modern environmental problems.

Analysis of South Florida Farmer's Markets Food Access and Neighborhood Nutrition
Attainment.
This study analyzes surveys of owners and customers of farmer's markets in South Florida to
develop a deeper understanding of the importance of farmer's markets and their roles in dietary
consumption of the surrounding neighborhoods. The study outlines the frequency and
distribution of farmer's markets in the form of food maps and qualitative surveys based on data
available. The characteristics of produce sold in farmer's markets will be used to establish
emergence of frequent "routes" taken by produce to analyze what amount of locally grown
produce is spread among South Florida. The surveys are fully voluntary and anonymous, the
surveyed participants are 18 years or older.

Maps, Notes, LiDAR, Dip Vats, and Old Indian Fields: Predictive Modeling in Southwest
Florida.
Georeferenced historic maps, Land Office maps and field notes, and other historic material were
used with GIS data and LiDAR to develop a site location predictive model. Spanning parts of
Collier and Hendry counties, the 114,328-acre study area encompasses part of the Okaloacoochee
Slough and Gum Swamp. Four archaeological sites are recorded in this area. The area is known to
be rich in historic sites and also appears to have a number of prehistoric sites, particularly along
its wetland corridors. Development of the predictive model using multiple information sources
including LiDAR technology will be discussed.
Johnson, Jodi (New College of Florida, Warm Mineral Springs/Little Salt Spring Archaeological
Society, Vice President)
The Multiplicity of Heritage at Warm Mineral Springs.
Warm Mineral Springs has attracted people to its constantly warm, mineral-rich waters since the
first peoples arrived in Florida over 10,000 years ago. Archaeological evidence of human and
mega fauna use are preserved in its anaerobic depths. Documented use of the spring can be traced
back to the 1800's when swimmers would camp along its banks, claiming therapeutic value by
15
soaking in its waters. Tourism, ecology, historical use, and political processes are all concerns
for the community in which Warm Mineral Springs resides. This poster illustrates how long term
and diverse use of the spring has created complex stakeholder relationships.
Kles, Maranda (New College of Florida)
Florida Archaic Pond Burials- Intersite and Intrasite Relationships.
Biological distance analysis has provided valuable insight into the migration and interaction of
populations within Florida. Pond, or water, burials are a mortuary practice that occurred in
Florida for a brief period of time, but occurred in various locations around the peninsula. The
archaeology of many of these sites is well documented; however, the biological relationships of
these people are poorly understood. Previous craniometric research has suggested an ancestordescendent relationship among these sites and this poster will look more in depth at those intersite
relationships and examine some of the intrasite relationships.
Luer, George (SWFAS)
Archaeology Around Charlotte Harbor.
Archaeologist George Luer presents some highlights of the Charlotte Harbor area, including
studies of Mississippian ceramic vessels, the Pine Island Canal, and stratification on Big Mound
Key. Radiocarbon dates, artifacts, and faunal remains are beginning to reveal the complex
history of Big Mound Key. There, a series of shell mounds reached heights of 4 to 7 meters
during the late Weeden Island period (ca. A.D. 600 to 1000) and a large, multilayered pit feature
shows important patterns in the consumption of diverse foods, including provisioning and
feasting, during the Englewood phase (ca. A.D. 1100) of early Mississippian-influenced times.

Domestic Fowl Sacrifices in the 19thCentury American Southeast: A Comparison of Jewish
and West African Spiritual Practices.
Excavations within two disparate landscapes – a slave cabin at Kingsley Plantation, Florida and
the backyard of the Block Farmstead, Arkansas, and a Jewish immigrant home – have revealed a
common feature of apparent spiritual practice within these early 19th century landscapes – animal
sacrifices in the form of buried chickens. Although similar in form, the underlying rationale for
their creation may have disparate origins or may have been created under a common cosmology.
A comparative analysis and interpretation of these burials will be presented based on evidence of
animal sacrifice within several cosmologies including West and Central Africa, British Isles,
Judaism and Islam.

Shining Some Light on the Past: Community Archaeology at Sunny Point, Palatka.
Community archaeology aims to engage local communities in uncovering and studying their past.
During March 2013, Palatka residents and school children had the opportunity to excavate at one
of the city’s oldest houses during a public excavation coordinated by the Florida Public
Archaeology Network. This paper outlines the preliminary findings of the project, both in terms
of archaeological materials and its success as a community archaeology project.

O'Brien, Katie (New College of Florida, student paper competition)
The Findings of the Vero Site: How Old Are They?
A Comic and Analytical Survey of Comics in Archaeology. As it is widely known, many facets
of archaeological research require tangible objects and their visual assessment. Considering this
fact, the idea of sharing research through the medium of graphic comic strips is appropriate in
conveying certain results. While archaeological endeavors inherently include public outreach, the
archaeological comic becomes a widely accessible tool for both scholars and diverse audiences in
getting messages across through this simple approach. Here, the web-generated comic showcases
the controversy surrounding the faunal remains recently discovered in Vero Beach, Florida. In
this eight-panel comic, complex archaeological material is condensed into somewhat of a story,
reflecting the necessity to give insight on archaeological methodologies as well as showing what
this method of visual representation can offer in exhibiting archaeological undertakings.

Classification of Ship Graffiti at Two Colonial Sites on Cat Island, Bahamas.
In the wake of the American Revolution, Loyalists from Florida settled the Out Islands of the
Bahamas. Sites dating to this Loyalist period (c. 1780-1849) bear an extraordinary record of ship
graffiti incised on the stucco walls of ruined buildings. Images depict sailing vessels of the late
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Recent research at two sites on Cat Island has yielded
a preliminary inventory of images. The study highlights the range of drawing variation and
provides chronological insights into shipping, trade, and maritime activities. It also raises
questions about the role of ship illustration in Bahamian slave life.

Environmental Assessments, Contamination, Soil Remediation, and Archaeological
Investigations at the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Brevard
County, Florida 2007-2010 .
The Cape Canaveral Lighthouse grounds contain a multicomponent archaeological site. As part
of the most recent lighthouse refurbishment activities, soil was sampled around the lighthouse.
Elevated levels of contaminants were detected in the soil. Shortly after this discovery, the 45th
Space Wing was approached about leasing the site to a private foundation that would develop a
museum and conduct public tours. The 45 SW decided to conduct a cleanup of the soils at the site
to protect the public who will visit the site. The subsequent project resulted in innovative cleanup
methods and an in-depth archaeological investigation.

Applications of Geographic Information Systems to predict seasonality patterns of South
Florida hunter-gatherer communities.
A case study from Glade archaeological region. The goal is to predict seasonality patterns
practiced by Hunter-Gatherer communities that settled in South Florida, in the Glades
archaeological region, not only through interpreting past human subsistence activities, based in
zooarchaeological data, but also applying Geographic Information Systems tools, such as ArcGIS
10.2 software to develop graphics and maps. The archaeological sites’ spatial distribution is
relevant to understand the variability of human behavior in relation with the natural resources.
The geodatabase of Florida archaeological sites used was provided by the Florida Master Site
File, which is the State of Florida's official inventory of historical and cultural resources.

Ancient Floridians at the Container Corporation of American Site (8-MR-154), Marion
County, >20,000 Years Ago.
Sometimes it is not necessary to generalize, theorize, or speculate about the antiquity of people in
the Americas. Data is presented from one site where stone tools representing an ancient lithic
technology lie unconformably below and separated by ca. 50 cm from tools exhibiting Clovis and
more recent typologies. The specimens from the lower stratum possibly predate Clovis by more
than ten thousand years. Conclusions about the Container Corporation of America (CCA) site are
not based on preconceived ideas of what was expected, but on actual visual associations of
artifacts and the deposits from which they were recovered.

St. Johns II Ceramic Assemblage Variability at the Mill Cove Complex and Beyond.
The Mill Cove Complex (MCC) is a major St. Johns II ceremonial and village site in northeastern
Florida. Archaeological investigations there have focused primarily on the site’s two bookend
mounds (Shields and Grant) and Kinzey’s Knoll, a special event midden situated near the Shields
Mound. To address the lack of testing in domestic areas of the site, we excavated a small block,
approximately 150 meters northwest of Kinzey’s Knoll. In this paper we present the results of our
excavation and compare our findings to those of other St. Johns II contexts within the MCC and
elsewhere in the region.

Of Art and Archaeology: Reflecting on ArtCalusa.
The integration of public education with artistic interpretation has been a mainstay of the Florida
Anthropological Society (FAS) sponsored Archaeology Month materials and events. As a sponsor
of “ArtCalusa: Reflections on Representation”, FAS supported Lee Trust for Historic
Preservation’s efforts to bring together artists, archaeologists, and literary scholars to reflect upon
how we represent Florida’s indigenous communities. The art exhibition and forum provided the
first public opportunity for many of those involved to discuss how imagery of the past is
developed, the role of contemporary values in its execution, and how subconscious messages
impact the general public’s understanding of history.

The Taphonomy of a Landscape: Anthropogenic and Ecological Processes Following
Abandonment at Forest Lakes Country Club Golf Course.
The golf course at Forest Lakes Country Club was once one of the most prestigious in Sarasota.
Despite the success of the surrounding neighborhood and city, it eventually went out of business
in the early 2000’s and was foreclosed on by the bank. This area provided a unique opportunity
to study the processes of abandonment on a manufactured landscape. The goal of the project was
to apply the concept of taphonomy to a landscape, observing both the ecological and
anthropogenic changes that occurred since its abandonment. The results showed a multifaceted
view of the landscape, and the marginalized groups that interacted with it.

Utilizing Georeferencing in Archaeology: A Quest to find the Seminole Village of
Chocachatti.
Over the past decade, georeferencing has become an imperative prospection tool in connecting
past and present landscapes within archaeological contexts. In 1823, Horatio S. Dexter produced
a sketch map plotting the location of Seminole villages scattered across the Florida landscape.
This paper will detail the research process involved in utilizing GIS to locate one of these
villages, the site of Chocachatti, by georeferencing specific areas of Dexter's map. In addition,
the presentation will advocate using caution when moving from historic maps and GIS to the
ground as archaeological and historical records are operating in two separate frames of temporal
reference.

Downtown Technical Campus: A Short Term Late Archaic Occupation.
Downtown Technical Campus (DTC) was a cultural resource management project that was
conducted by the University of West Florida Archaeology Institute for the Pensacola Area
Chamber of Commerce. In the summer and fall of 2009, 54.2 square meters of intact Late
Archaic midden deposits were examined. A total of 64 features were excavated, four radiocarbon
dates were obtained, 311 lithic perforators and debitage, an abundance of faunal remains, and two
copper beads were recovered.

Fort San Mateo’s Legacy: Memory, Landscape, and the Documents.
With the 450th anniversary of Fort Caroline in June 2014, interest in its history and location is
resurging. Recent proposals have suggested that the fort was not located on the St. Johns River,
but rather 65 miles to the north on the Altamaha River, Georgia. This paper challenges the
Altamaha proposal by focusing on Fort San Mateo, which lasted from the Spanish capturing of
Fort Caroline in September 1565 to the spring of 1569. This paper explores the history of San
Mateo to link the two forts in geographic space and anchor them to the St. Johns River.
Turner, Sam (Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program)
Juan Ponce de León and the West Coast of Florida.
In 1513 Juan Ponce de León visited the west coast of Florida possibly in the vicinity of Charlotte
Bay. While there, he had a number of encounters, both violent and peaceful, with the local
Calusa. During this time he traded with the inhabitants exchanging European trade goods for
hides and guanines, or gold body ornaments. He returned eight years later in 1521 and attempted
to establish a Spanish settlement. This paper discuses both these expeditions and some of the
unintended consequences of the failure of Ponce de León’s 1521 expedition.
Watrous, Miranda (Eckerd College)
Cultivation Strategies on Cat Island: Adaptations in a Tourism Based Economy.
Increasing foreign imports have dramatically impacted family farming practices in The Bahamas.
This study examines the current cultivation strategies and livelihood diversification in Port Howe
on Cat Island. Data collection involved interviews with reference to local oral tradition and
customary practices of farmers and business owners, as well as participation in the community
and farms. The data suggest that a combination of historical subsistence strategies and more
19
recently developed technologies are being employed to adapt to the changing environment and
economic pressures of a tourism-based economy. The adoption of heritage tourism will best
perpetuate inherited farming knowledge within this system.
Wentz, Rachel (Brevard County Historical Commission, Florida Historical Society

First in the Dirt: The Origins and Evolution of Florida Archaeology.
Professional archaeology in Florida is a fairly recent development. Curiosity about Florida’s
history predates the development of the discipline, and some of our earliest publications speak to
this intense interest. For over one hundred years, the Florida Historical Society has published the
Florida Historical Quarterly, the society’s professional research journal. Some of Florida’s first
archaeologists published in the Quarterly, since the rise of scholarly archaeological journals
would take several decades to appear. By examining the questions posed, the sites investigated,
and the conclusions reached within the pages of the Quarterly, we can witness the evolution of
archaeology in Florida and the impact these early works had on contemporary archaeologists.
Ziel, Deborah L.
Which Way to the Jook Joint?
Historical archaeology of a Polk County, Florida turpentine camp. The turpentine industry
employed African American labor in the southeastern United States under a system of debt
peonage that was similar to antebellum slavery. One such company camp, Nalaka, was in
operation from 1919 until 1928. Despite their oppression, laborers developed venues known as
“jook joints” for the expression of agency through leisure. Although no structures survive, artifact
scatters from 1920s Nalaka remain in situ. This study reconstructs the layout of the camp based
upon artifact provenience, secondary ethnographic sources, and historical documents, to
determine whether or not Nalaka supported a jook joint, and if so, where was its location.
Bio: Deborah L. Ziel earned her Masters of Anthropology degree at the University of Central
Florida. She specializes in historical archaeology, with a specific focus on African Americans.
Deborah is also a registered architect and professional genealogist. She is writing a novel of
historical fiction while preparing to pursue a PhD.
