Abstract

The article focuses on Browns’ Mound, a Native American shell mound located in the Indian Beach neighborhood of Sarasota, Florida, dating to the pre-contact Safety Harbor period (circa A.D. 1000–1500). The mound, part of the Shell Road Midden (8SO94), was historically owned by Florence and Robert Brown until 2003 and has been documented through photographs from the early 20th century to 2025, illustrating changes in the surrounding landscape and erosion control measures. The article includes historical context, archaeological references, and a contour map showing the mound’s relation to nearby sites such as the Boylston Mound. The documentation highlights the mound’s cultural significance and ongoing preservation challenges due to natural and human impacts. [Extracted from the article]
