FM Curatorial Range: Florida Archaeology; Collection Accession #: 2012–018; Archaeological Site #: 8CO326; Archaeological Site Name: Parnell Mound | Vertebrate and invertebrate remains recovered from a Suwannee Valley archaeological culture site near White Springs, Florida. The collection was excavated in 2012 from a single pit feature approximately 2.5m by 3m wide representing a single depositional event. The zooarchaeological specimen records are associated with an AMS assay on charred wood from the feature that yielded a radiocarbon age of 850+/- 30 years BP, which gives a 2-sigma calibrated date range of AD 1050 to 1080 (5.2%) and 1150 to 1260 (90.2%) (using calibration curve IntCal13 [29]). |

The zooarchaeological specimen records are associated with an AMS assay on charred wood from the feature that yielded a radiocarbon age of 850+/- 30 years BP, which gives a 2-sigma calibrated date range of AD 1050 to 1080 (5.2%) and 1150 to 1260 (90.2%) (using calibration curve IntCal13 [29]). |
FM Curatorial Range: Environmental Archaeology; Collection Accession #: 19; Archaeological Site #: 8VO24; Archaeological Site Name: Tick Island | Vertebrate and invertebrate remains recovered from multiple contexts associated with site occupation spanning from approximately 4,000 BC to 1 AD. Excavated during the 1970's, the Tick Island site is located in Volusia County, Florida, near the St. Johns River. |
FM Curatorial Range: Environmental Archaeology; Collection Accession #: 067; Archaeological Site #: 8FL216; Archaeological Site Name: North Midden | Vertebrate and invertebrate remains from a late Mount Taylor period archaeological site located along the Intracoastal Waterway in Flagler County, Florida. The site was excavated in 2006 and the zooarchaeological dataset is a sample from the bottom layers of a pit feature. The zooarchaeological specimens are associated with a 2-sigma calibrated date range of 4970–4560 BP. |
