Abstract
8ES3427, or the Downtown Technical Campus site, located in downtown Pensacola, Florida, is a Late Archaic logistical procurement encampment that was excavated during April to November of 2008 and August to October of 2009. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of artifacts within the context of the midden and features recovered at the site answer questions about logistical mobility, site function, and what types of activities were carried out at 8ES3427. These questions have been answered by calculating the evenness index of the lithic assemblage to determine tool diversity, and determining the discreteness of features. Using these methods, it has been determined the Downtown Technical Campus was a bead manufacturing logistical camp that was frequently reoccupied. This will aid future researchers in fitting the Florida Panhandle into the greater Poverty Point trade network.
