Trail Networks Connecting Ancient Sites in the Western Okeechobee Region
This talk locates trails in the Western Okeechobee, a landscape long viewed as an inhospitable combination of sloughs, swamps, and sawgrass. Trail networks connected Indigenous communities and allowed people to travel, exchange materials, and share ideology. The work applies multiple data sources to over 11,000 km2 to find potential trails used during the Woodland period. Trails connect archaeological sites and monumental anthropogenic earthworks. Results show a high potential of local intraregional community ties and interregional travel.
