Harney Flats describes the excavation, which was praised for its state-of-the-art strategy and interpretive methods despite its sandy environment, and details the objects uncovered-projectile points, scrapers, adzes-and what they reveal about the lives of the people who used them. The expansive excavations at Harney Flats demonstrated that significant land-based sites of early human settlement exist in Florida and are worth exploring. Beneath evidence of human settlement from the Middle Archaic period, researchers unearthed Paleoindian stone tools-representing a rare example of a stratified site in the Southeast with a Paleoindian occupation. Morse, coauthor of Archaeology of the Central Mississippi Valley Discovered during construction of the I-75 corridor northeast of Tampa, the site of Harney Flats was a turning point in the archaeology of the southeastern United States. future archaeological studies throughout North America and elsewhere."-Florida Anthropologist "The book is a Florida Paleoindian classic."-Dan F. "Represents another stepping stone toward our understanding of life in the Southeast 10,000-11,000 years ago."-Southeastern Archaeology "The Paleoindian component at Harney Flats is a benchmark in early studies in Florida and the Southeast."-North American Archaeologist "A work which must be recognized as a definitive study of Paleoindians in Florida and which will serve as a model for. floridensis, on exhibition, is also described. 25–24 million years old, and occurs in an interval not well represented in the classic Arikareean sequence of western Nebraska. floridensis is late early Arikareean (Ar2) in age, ca. Based on the associated faunal remains and age determinations, M. Mesoreodon floridensis differs from most other species assigned to this genus in the relative development of the nasal region, possible presence of a facial vacuity, configuration of the preorbital fossa, relatively simple occipital and zygomatic morphology, and imbricated premolar morphology.
new species, Mesoreodon floridensis, and is derived, particularly in the development of the auditory bulla, relative to more primitive, closely related species such as Merycoidodon culbertsoni, the latter of which is well known from the badlands of the western United States. The White Springs oreodont pertains to a.
Although oreodonts are very common from classic Oligocene and early Miocene deposits in the western United States, this group is poorly represented from Florida.
Exceptionally well-preserved partial skeletal remains representing a minimum of six individuals of an oreodont are described from the White Springs Local Fauna, Columbia County, northern Florida.
