Abstract of Information Available
Waddell’s Mill (8JA65)
Human remains representing, at least,
one individual has been identified from
the Waddell’s Mill Site (8JA65). The
8,512 associated funerary objects
include faunal bone, faunal shell,
ceramic sherds, lithic flakes, glass
shards, charred and uncharred plant
remains, faunal coprolite, and unfired
clay fragments. The site was excavated
numerous times between 1952–1973.
The site is located in Jackson County,
Florida, approximately seven miles
northwest of Marianna, Florida. The site
is situated on a limestone hill of the
Crystal River Formation. The Ancestor
was found buried in a cave shelter (Cave
1) on the mound which sits along the
spring-fed pond. The site dates to the
Middle Woodland through the Mission
Period (A.D. 200 to 17th Century) but is
predominantly associated with the Fort
Walton Period. The FLMNH undertook
building-wide fumigation with Vikane
(sulfuryl fluoride) several times since
this collection has entered the museum.
No other exposure to potentially
hazardous substances is known to
FLMNH.
Marine Street (8SJ?)
Human remains representing, at least,
seven individuals have been identified.
There are no associated funerary objects.
Human remains were uncovered as part
of a construction project on the corner
of Marine St. and Arsenal St. in St.
Augustine, St. Johns County, Florida in
June of 1973. They were donated to the
Historic St. Augustine Preservation
Board, who subsequently transferred
them to the FLMNH, also in June of
1973. The FLMNH undertook building
wide fumigation with Vikane (sulfuryl
fluoride) several times since this
collection has entered the museum. No
other exposure to potentially hazardous
substances is known.
