Florida is about as far my "home" research area as it possible to get and still be within the Eastern Woodlands. As a consequence, the EWHADP database contains only two entries for the state: the Horr's Island site in Collier County and the Aspalaga site in Gadsen County. I'm sure there is a lot more information out there, I'm just not aware of it yet. As I was reviewing my Florida data this morning for a presentation at the upcoming DINAA (Digital Index of North American Archaeology) workshop in South Bend in August, I came across a 1974 report by Jerald Milanich about excavations at the Sycamore site (8-Gd-13) near Aspalaga.
The structure at Sycamore was an oval defined by postmolds (illustration to right taken from Milanich 1974:Figure 7). It measured approximately 8.9 m x 6.2 m and was associated with a variety of features. It will be Structure 2260 when I update the database.
See how easy it is? In just a few moments I increased the size of my Florida sample by 50 percent.
