Description:
First published more than 100 years ago, this illustrated monograph on the Key Marco site on Florida's Gulf Coast reports on archaeological discoveries that have never been duplicated. At one time work at the site was considered the most important excavation on earth and, until 1970, it was considered the most advanced work in archaeology anywhere in the United States.
Expand description
Frank Hamilton Cushing was the first person to use the term chiefdom to refer to prehistoric aboriginal culture, a term that wasn't reintroduced to the literature until the 1970s. Equally amazing, Cushing actually attempted to explain the emergence of the sociopolitical complexity that he excavated.
No other site in the Southeast has revealed so many wooden and perishable cord artifacts, particularly from such a wide cultural range, including utilitarian, subsistence extraction, and sociopolitical and religious artifacts. Today, many of the pieces or their replicas are on display in local museums, excavations at Key Marco continue, and ecotours regularly visit the site.
