ABSTRACT
Hogan (1978) found pollen of Panicum hemitomon in the coprolites of the Glades people that she studied. As they were living beside vast stands of the windpollinated plants, that is no clear indication that they used the grass. However, being in a pre-Columbian context and having historical documentation of use is provocative. The Seminoles too
know these formerly abundant grasses (Sturtevant 1955), and at least use them to the extent of “reading” the landscape. Where there is they know that the water remains near a certain depth. That constitutes part of their knowledge of the landscape.
