The analysis is framed within the orientation of practice theory advocated by previous research on technological style, and aims to identify technological variation in accordance (or discordance) with temporal boundaries and the social affiliations of potters.
The pottery assemblages from three sites within the Fox Lake Sanctuary are analyzed to assess typological variation in assemblage composition, as well as formal and morphological variation in the technological attributes of rim sherds. Johns II or Malabar II Period) sites in this region, and sherds of this type would comprise a greater quantity of the assemblage nevertheless, the ceramics from the Fox Lake Sanctuary exemplify the ubiquity of plain pottery at many Malabar II Period sites, illustrating a trend that is becoming recognized as characteristic of archaeological sites associated with the Malabar Tradition within the Indian River Region. Johns Check Stamped pottery is thought to be temporally diagnostic of Late Prehistoric (St. However, radiometric assays from one site in the Sanctuary indicate a Late Prehistoric occupation dating to the Malabar II Period (ca. Johns Plain pottery comprise the majority of the assemblages and decorated sherds are rare. 1565) of the Indian River Region of east-central Florida.
This paper examines the prehistoric ceramics from the Fox Lake Sanctuary, an archaeological locale associated with the Malabar Tradition (ca. Making use of the theoretical perspectives of creolization, hybridity, and practice theory, it can be argued that 18th century Apalachee ceramics reflect a hybridized ceramic practice, influenced by cultural history, geographic location, and social networks. This thesis explores the nature of the cultural evolution the Apalachee experienced through a highly detailed ceramic analysis and includes a comparative analysis of both 18th century Apalachee settlements, as well as the sites of 17th century Apalachee Mission San Luis de Talimali and the late 18th century Creek village Fusihatchee. Residing in a complex cultural borderland created by constant Native American migrations and European power struggles, the Apalachee experienced rapid culture change in the 18th century, as evidenced by their material remains at the archaeological sites of Mission San Joseph de Escambe in Northwestern Florida and Blakeley Park in Southern Alabama. After the destruction of their homeland in 1704, the Southeastern Apalachee dispersed across the Southeast, with two communities eventually settling along the Central Gulf Coast within 50 miles of each other.
