The Myakkahatchee Creek Archaeological Site in North Port, Florida, is a rare inland Manasota village near a creek that was a major route inland from the Gulf of Mexico. Discovered in 1982 during housing development work, it yielded artifacts, human remains, a large midden, and a U-shaped ritual earthwork with a burial mound. Archaeologists found evidence of repeated occupation reaching back about 10,000 years, making it unusual for both its long use and inland location. The site reflects the settled fishing, hunting, and gathering communities of the Manasota culture and underscores the extensive loss of prehistoric archaeology in the region to development.
