SECTION 8- RESOURCE SPECIFIC CRITERIAARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCESThe period between 3,000 B.C. and 500 B.C. is known as the late Archaic.By this time, the climate and environment was essentially the same astoday. The late Archaic people were great consumers of shell fish, both saltand fresh water, and left behind numerous shell middens. The late Archaicpeople were probably the first to grow squash and gourds, and the first tofire pottery. Because different cultures made their own distinct pottery,from this point on archaeologists are more easily able to trace thedevelopment of different regional cultures, up until the arrival ofEuropeans. Many different cultures have been defined since the lateArchaic. The Timucua, the Native Americans who inhabited the LakeApopka area at the time the Europeans arrived, developed from the St.Johns culture.Around 800 A.D. Florida Native Americans began cultivating corn.Populations increased, villages grew in number and size, and culturesbecame more complex. By the time of the first European arrivals, it isestimated that the Native American population was about 350,000 people.About 150,000 of them were Timucua speakers.By the 16 th century, the Timucuaspeaking peoples dominated roughlythe northern third of the state. LakeApopka was near the southern limitsof their region. The Timucua grewcorn, squash and gourds, butdepended a great deal on huntingand gathering. A staple was thestarchy wild coontie root, which alsobecame important in the diet of thefirst European American settlers. TheTimucua were sedentary and lived instockaded villages. Their pottery wasmade by the women and was someof the finest made east of theMississippi.The Florida Master Site File has identified 12 archaeological sites within 1.5miles of the Scenic Byway right of way. To discourage artifact hunting, whichhas almost become a cottage industry in the Lake Apopka area, the locationswill not be discussed. Two sites are, unfortunately, crossed by the highway78
SECTION 8- RESOURCE SPECIFIC CRITERIAARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCESand one was probably ruined by construction of the highway. The sites varyfrom scattered isolated artifacts to burial mounds with remains. There iswhat is assumed to be a mound visible from the Byway, but is not located inthe Master Site file. Many artifacts have been found by area residents,including a dug out canoe that is on display at the Helen Lehmann MemorialLibrary in Montverde. The CAG intends to encourage the documentation andpreservation of archaeological sites.Artifacts from the west shore of Lake ApopkaSources used in preparing this section:A Cultural Resource Assessment Survey of the Proposed Pine Island DevelopmentSite Located in Sections 1,11,12,13,14,and 24, Township 22 South, Range 26 East,and Sections 7 and 18, Township 22 South, Range 27 East, Lake County, Florida79
