泰勒山时期（Mount Taylor Period）7400-4600 cal. B.P.）佛罗里达东北部圣约翰河上的贝壳土丘是东南部第一批被记录的淡水贝壳遗址。然而，关于它们的年代、历史和随着时间的推移而变化的意义，还有很多东西仍然未知。本文介绍了一个区域年表ofMount泰勒壳网站的基础上，从有据可查的背景下放射性碳测定。壳网站的分布，安排和使用的三个主要变化被确定对应于社会互动和环境变化的重大转变。对贝壳沉积背景的研究表明，贝壳遗址往往是作为居住地建立的，后来又被改造成纪念仪式或丧葬仪式的场所。泰勒山贝壳遗址的历史对更广泛的关于贝壳遗址是贝冢还是纪念碑的辩论有影响。
Abstract Mount Taylor period (ca. 7400–4600 cal. B.P.) shell mounds on the St. Johns River in northeast Florida were some of the first Archaic freshwater shell sites to be documented in the Southeast. However, there is much that remains unknown about their chronology, history, and changing significance through time. This paper presents a regional chronology ofMount Taylor shell sites based on radiocarbon assays from well-documented contexts. Three major changes in the distribution, arrangement, and use of shell sites are identified which correspond with significant shifts in social interaction and environmental change. An examination of the contexts of shell deposition demonstrates that shell sites were frequently established as places to dwell and were subsequently transformed into places of commemorative ceremony or mortuary ritual. The history of Mount Taylor shell sites has implications for the broader debate on whether shell sites were middens or monuments.
