Figure 44d).

One sherd (MDC. 1.166.16) that is similar to a Crystal River
type, with grooves and zones of punctates decorating a smooth
sand tempered ware, was found in Unit 10, Level 2 on the
outside of the Circle’s northwest basins (Figure 23h).

Another sherd (MDC.1.440.2) with a recessed zone of
punctations, was found in Unit 26, Level 5 (Figure 23g). It may
have been from within a large natural solution feature that is
located on the Circle’s southeast circumference.

Decorated with punctations within a zone bordered by a
curvilinear incision, specimen MDC.1.904.1 was recovered
from Unit 63 from Feature 511, a shallow solution hole (Figure
23b). A sherd of micaceous paste with zoned punctations,
specimen MDC.1.832.6, was found in Feature 461 in Unit 48.

Discussion

An analysis of ceramics associated with the Brickell Point
site (SDA12) indicates a wide variety of types representing a
chronological range from the early Glades I through the Glades
III periods, or an approximate span of about 2000 years.
Despite this general duration of site activities, the data is more
revealing regarding the chronology of the site’s most intensive
habitation, indicating that the highest incidence of ceramic
types date from the early Glades I through II Periods, suggest-
ing an intensive occupation from 750 B.C. through ca. A.D.
1200. A paucity of Glades ITI types, such as Surfside Incised,
Matecumbe Incised, and Glades Tooled, suggests that intensive
occupation had ceased by the late Glades II Period.

It has been suggested that the Glades III Period is poorly
