Certain Aboriginal Mounds of the Florida Central West Coast (1903)

Certain Aboriginal Mounds of the Florida Central West Coast is a book written by Clarence Bloomfield Moore in 1903. The book is a detailed account of the author's archaeological excavations of various Native American burial mounds located along the central west coast of Florida. Moore was a wealthy amateur archaeologist who funded his own excavations and conducted them with a high level of scientific rigor. The book provides a wealth of information about the ancient Native American cultures that inhabited the region, including their burial practices, social structures, and material culture. Moore also includes detailed descriptions and illustrations of the artifacts he uncovered, such as pottery, stone tools, and jewelry. In addition to its archaeological content, Certain Aboriginal Mounds of the Florida Central West Coast also provides insight into the social and political climate of early 20th century America. Moore's excavation work was conducted during a time when the federal government was actively working to displace Native American communities and erase their cultural heritage. The book can therefore be seen as a valuable historical document that sheds light on both the ancient past and the more recent history of Native American relations in the United States.Also Contains Certain Aboriginal Mounds Of The Apalachicola River.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
