SAAA Lecture: Ecology, Ritual and Mound-Building at the Tomoka Complex

Time: 7:00 pm til 8:30 pm

Location: Zoom Webinar

Description: Dr. Jon Endonino is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Eastern Kentucky University. He will present excavation and analyses results from Phase 2 of the Tomoka Archaeology Project. Ecological data were collected to reconstruct the environmental conditions when late Mount Taylor hunter-gatherers settled the site, constructed the mounds and earth- and shell-works, and performed attending rituals during the Thornhill Lake phase (5600-4700 cal BP). Environmental data combined with radiocarbon dates and artifact analyses have revealed connections between changes in monumental architecture and ritual at the site, a changing environment, and shifting relationships with other people across Florida and beyond.
