Abstract
This thesis assesses and further describes the late-prehistoric period in an understudied region of the Florida Panhandle, the Upper Chipola River Basin. Ceramic data from Lime Pit Cave (8JA121), Milton Plantation Site 1 (8JA160), Sam Smith Cave (8JA99), and Rettig East (8JA159) demonstrate an intense middle and late Fort Walton occupation. However, the presence of Lamar-like characteristics on typical Fort Walton ceramics indicate a late-stage cultural transition away from local and traditional modes of ceramic production. These evidences are compared with ceramic data from neighboring Fort Walton regions and are interpreted as material manifestations of participation between communities of potters. As a result, models for Fort Walton culture and cultural change in the Upper Chipola River Basin are proposed.
