This 3D reconstruction shows the full size and shape of the Pinellas Point Mound at Indian Mound Park in St. Petersburg, Florida prior to partial destruction in 1929. Data used to create this reconstruction include terrestrial laser scanning survey data collected in 2014 along with survey details from the c. 1880 S.T. Walker map that was made prior to site alteration. This reconstruction shows that the site had an extensive ramp feature pointing to the south, as well as a distinctive âTâ shape. The portion of the site to the west of the ramp is largely missing today.

St. Johns Check Stamped Pottery
This St. Johns Check Stamped vessel was common at Weeden Island and Safety Harbor archaeological sites in the Tampa Bay region from about AD 700 to AD 1500. This particular vessel has an intentionally perforated base and was probably used in mortuary ritual.

Decorative Ceramic Sherd
This Tucker Ridge Pinched ceramic sherd is from the Tierra Verde Mound in Pinellas County and dates to the Weeden Island period. This sherd is likely from a flattened-globular bowl with an incurving rim. As the name implies, the vertical ridges are made by pinching the wet clay before firing.

Pinellas Point Mound
This ramped, temple mound is smaller in size than its original construction. In 1929 a neighboring house to the west was constructed and removed a portion of the site.
The site was mapped in 1880 by S.T. Walker showing its full extent and ramp feature to the south. In 1992, Dr. Robert Austin, directing a field school from Eckerd College, revisted and produced a topographic map of the site to show present-day configuration.
In 2014 a terrestrial LiDAR survey was undertaken, and along with aerial LiDAR and GPS, provides a comprehensive look at the site, including sectional and volumetric analysis.

Safety Harbor Incised
Ceramic Jar or Beaker
This Safety Harbor Incised vessel was recovered from the Tierra Verde Mound in Pinellas County. It is representative of Safety Harbor-period ceramic types found in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. This partial vessel has been pieced together from several broken sherds, and is a beaker or possibly a neck from a long-collared jar.
