WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY

"The archaeological evidence for the aboriginal construction of the Miami Circle is compelling. We believe that the existing archaeological evidence strongly supports the premise that the Miami Circle was constructed by an aboriginal Florida society We believe that the Brickell Point site is significant on the local, state, and national levels of criteria, and that further archaeological investigation and preservation would be of enormous public benefit."

  - Dr. Brent Weisman
   Chairman, Department of Anthropology
   University of South Florida

 

"The superposition of the septic tank and footer trench over or through the Circleís adjacent holes and basins is indicative of the more recent origin of the septic tank and footer. The Miami Circle represents the first remains to be identified archaeologically in southeastern Florida of what appears to be an aboriginal structure.  As such, it is a rare and potentially unique cultural resource."

 - George Luer
   Archaeologist
   Sarasota

"In my mind there can be no question of the significance or importance of this archaeological site. No other site has the potential to produce as much new knowledge on the prehistory of southeast Florida"

 - Dr. Randolph Widmer
   Associate Professor of Anthropology
   University of Houston

"It is absolutely clear to me that the Circle is prehistoric.  The question as to whether this is a drainfield is frankly ridiculous."

 - Dr. John Gifford
   Archaeologist
   Associate Professor
   Division of Marine Affairs
   University of Miami
 

"It seems obvious to me that the holes were made by a different means than the septic tank cut.  The crusts on top the bedrock form at between 1 centimeter per 2000 to 4000 years under ideal conditions"

 - Thomas M. Scott
   Assistant State Geologist
   Florida Geological Survey
