Original Inhabitants


I've been debating over the past few weeks whether to make this post. After a lot of thought I've decided to go ahead as it is a very interesting chapter in North Florida History.

Earlier this month, I came across a spot in the shallow water where I found approximately 50 pottery sherds. My initial thought was that the period of inhabitants who were the most likely creators of this pottery to be Muskogee. After a bit of layman's research into the pottery patterns, it seems more likely that the shards are Apalachee, which dates the pottery to be at least 500 years old. I reached this conclusion after research on the following sites:
Mission San Luis Collection
Shell Point History
Swift Creek
