Abstract

The osteological material from a disturbed Archaic site (Republic Groves) in west central Florida was analyzed, both metrically and non-metrically, in an attempt to describe the population and its interaction with the environment. The dentition provided the best basis for cultural inferences. Correlation among extreme attrition, periodontal disease, and interproximal grooving was suggested. Frequencies for discrete and continuous cranial and infracranial non-metric traits were analyzed, although a statistical treatment of the data proved impossible. Cranial and infracranial metrics were also reported. Finally, an attempt was made to interrelate Republic Groves archaeological data with interpretations suggested by other authors in reference to cultural and ethnological information.
