Presentation Abstract: Remnants of elevated mounds and ridges, sculpted canals and watercourts remain a visible yet subtle reminder of the once thriving Calusa society in today's southwest Florida landscape. Careful archaeological excavation reveals how and when this landscape was constructed, and its relationship with the development of the Calusa through time culminating in the highly complex, stratified chiefdom controlling the southern third of the Florida peninsula by Spanish contact. Mound Key - the Calusa capital - remains the first specific location documented in the voyage of Juan Ponce de León in 1513 that named La Florida.
