Ancient Village in Lee County, Florida.
Pineland was the location of a major village of the Calusa people, a stratified society that recieved tribute from other groups in south central Florida. The site shows occupation for over 1500 years and includes the structures built from the 1200's through 1700's when the remnants of the Calusa migrated to the Florida Keys and Cuba.
The site is part of the Randell Research Center
and includes burial and structural shell mounds and a canal dug to bring water into the village center. A National Register of Historic Places site.
Note: Dig at Pineland Mound Complex May Reveal Clues to How the Calusa Culture Became Dominant in Pre-Contact Florida. See comments.
