The Traditions of Mount Taylor Communities
The Traditions of Mount Taylor Communities
This chapter defines the Mount Taylor archaeological culture, during which most shell mounds on the St. Johns River were constructed. On one hand, the Mount Taylor culture has been traditionally defined by the appearance of shellfishing regionally. But it has also been defined by what it lacks: long-distance exchange, monumental construction, and social complexity. This chapter reviews past interpretations of Mount Taylor lifeways and presents a new historical and multi-scalar perspective on traditions innovated and reproduced by Mount Taylor<n>period communities. Topics covered include diet, mobility practices, technology, exchange and interaction, chronology, and mortuary rituals.
Keywords: Mount Taylor, culture, lifeways, chronology, diet, mortuary ritual, technology, exchange, mobility practices, shellfishing
