During the academic year 1948-49 an archaeological survey of the central Florida region was initiated by the writer and carried out with the aid of University of Florida students. As a result a large number of sites have been located, many of which have no pottery on the surface but are characterized by an abundance of flint chips and chipped stone artifacts. Most of the stone points are not distinctive although a few, known as Suwannee points, are suggestive of fluted points and Plainview forms found elsewhere. With a hope of determining the cultural position of this type of point, and of defining possible lithic complexes in the region, a program of test excavations was planned. These have resulted in the recognition of a new lithic entity, the Santa Fe complex.
