No, but thanks Roy. The image I am looking for is a black and white engraving, and aerial projection of the whole island complex.Digit wrote:Is this what you're looking for?

Roy.
Huh? Afaik that image is black and white, looks very much like a print from an engraving, and is an aerial projection of the whole island complex...E.P. Grondine wrote:No, but thanks RS. The image I am looking for is a black and white engraving, and aerial projection of the whole island complex.
Yes - the image looks like a view taken from a balloon or airplane - its a 3-D reconstruction.Rokcet Scientist wrote: Huh? Afaik that image is black and white, looks very much like a print from an engraving, and is an aerial projection of the whole island complex...
Am I missing something?

Around 0 AD a village was founded on an island near what is now Charlotte Harbor on the southwestern tip of Florida. It was just one of many small fishing villages that composed what archaeologists label the Caloosahatchee Culture. The village slowly grew in population and evolved culturally to the point that it was the capital and major population center for a province that covered much of southwestern Florida. By the 1500s when the Spanish arrived in Florida, the Calusa People occupied coastal towns and villages from Tampa Bay to the Keys, and also had villages about half the distance inland to Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades.
Yes, but the main mound on Key Marco was 3 to 4 orders of magnitude larger.Minimalist wrote:

Maybe it grew over the centuries, millennia...? Like the main pyramid in Tenochtitlan. Mounds among people tend to do that!E.P. Grondine wrote:Yes, but the main mound on Key Marco was 3 to 4 orders of magnitude larger.Minimalist wrote:

I'd go with number 2, Barry. But as the mound served as an emergency hurricane shelter, we should likely heed the warning. As you can see from the artifacts at Gainesville, Key Marco was hit by a Tunguska class blast as well. Funny how the name Calusa translates into "Star People" in the article.wxsby wrote:Wow... I grew up skiffing and water skiing those bogs and lagoons a a kid. Jumped off more than a few bridges on a dare and never had any idea! Very cool...
Probably disturbed more than a few spirits in the mounds. Or maybe they were kindred spirits and enjoyed our exploits!
We don't know. It is so large it is mistaken today for a naturally occurring feature, and not man made.Rokcet Scientist wrote:Maybe it grew over the centuries, millennia...? Like the main pyramid in Tenochtitlan. Mounds among people tend to do that!E.P. Grondine wrote:
