Not Known (by us) in Collier County, Florida.
An obviously man-made canal, first recorded on maps by the European settlers of what is now Naples, Florida, connected an inland cove more directly to the Gulf of Mexico. In the last century the canal, after many decades of no use, was filled in. Excavations and carbon dating now indicate the canal dates back to at least 900 years ago. Additional samples may provide definitive proof of the structure's precolumbian origins in the Calusa culture.

The canal was slightly longer than a kilometer, stretching between a location on the coast between what is now the beachfront between 9th and 10th Avenue (the area shown on the map links for this site listing,) and the old city dock on Naples Bay.

If verified as a pre-contact structure, the canal would be similar to four other sites in Florida.

Tests Suggest Age of Prehistoric Naples Canal. by bat400 on Monday, 14 July 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
The results of a recent archaeological dig in Naples reveal prehistoric Native Americans created a canal dating back to at least 800 to 1,100 A.D.

Robert Carr, executive director of the Archaeological and Historical Conservancy, said indigenous people used the canal as a shortcut and probably for transporting goods.

This is the second recent excavation and radiocarbon testing of the canal.

In 2011, the conservancy collected its first sample after using ground-penetrating radar to find the canal’s location.

Carr said the site is part of a complex web of canals in southern Florida.

“These canals are the only transportation canals in North America outside of Mexico. So, in that sense they are a major engineering marvel that indigenous people have constructed,” he said.

Carr and the conservancy hope to collect more samples to test this year.
