Crystal River Archaeological State Park

Crystal River Archaeological State Park is a 25 ha (61 acres) Florida state park in Citrus County, preserving the pre-Columbian mound complex officially designated the Crystal River Site (Florida Master Site File 8CI1) and the associated Roberts Island complex downstream. The park occupies a low bluff on the north bank of the Crystal River roughly 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) above its mouth on the Gulf of Mexico, within the boundary of Crystal River Preserve State Park and about two miles west and one mile north of the city of Crystal River. It was established on August 6, 1962, as Crystal River State Archaeological Site under the Florida Park Service, the first State Archaeological Site in the Florida park system, and renamed to its current form after the reclassification of Florida's state archaeological sites as archaeological state parks. The mound complex on the park's main parcel includes an approximately 8 metres (26 feet)-tall stepped platform mound (Mound A), several smaller flat-topped platform mounds (H, J, and K), a circular earthen embankment enclosing three smaller burial mounds and a central sand mound (the Main Burial Complex, Mounds C through F), a discrete burial mound (G), an extensive crescent-shaped shell midden ridge (B), and three upright limestone "stelae," two of which bear low-relief anthropomorphic carvings.
