This book was released on 2014. Excavations at the Citrus Ridge Component of Coastal Southwest Florida's Pineland Site Complex available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Archaeological excavations were conducted at the Citrus Ridge component of southwest Florida's Pineland Site Complex in 2011 to address the hypothesis that a major hurricane impacted the site and its Native American inhabitants during the 4th Century A.D. This thesis situates the project within cultural and environmental contexts and discusses previous research relevant to the current study. The complexity of deposits encountered, along with an unexpected discovery in the uppermost strata, led the project to evolve into a more generalized, multi-temporal look at the historical ecology of Citrus Ridge. Based on the analysis of stratification, artifacts, faunal assemblages, and radiocarbon dates, Citrus Ridge is determined to be a partly anthropogenic and partly natural landform containing cultural deposits that range from A.D. 160 to A.D. 1260.
