History
The Cades Pond culture was preceded by the more widely-spread Deptford culture, and succeeded by the Alachua culture, which covered approximately the same area. The area of the Cades Pond culture was used intermittently by Deptford culture people prior to 100 CE. Late Deptford people established permanent villages in the area around 100 and the Cades Pond culture developed out of the Deptford culture. Weeden Island ceremonial pottery appeared in Cades Pond mounds around 300 CE. Pottery found in Cades Pond villages and middens was largely undecorated, and resembled contemporary ceramics of the St. Johns culture. Around 600 the Cades Pond culture was replaced by the unrelated Alachua culture.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Humankind has understood history as a series of battles because, to this day, it regards conflict as the central facet of life.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
