Circle between 2000 and 1500 years ago. That’s when this midden was probably made. To find out the actual date, take today’s date and subtract how many years ago it was. Today is 1997. This is very close to the year 2000, so we’ll use 2000 AD.
2000 - 2000 = 0.
2000 - 1500 = 500
So this trash pile was probably made between 0 and 500 AD. These kinds of pottery and projectile points have been found in the middens on Pelotes Island in Jacksonville, Florida. So, we know there were probably Indians on Pelotes Island between 0 and 500 AD. If you want to know more about pottery types, click here to go to "ARCHAIC INDIANS" or "WOODLAND INDIANS" pages.
