Agenda 06/28/2016 Item #16D18 6/28/2016 16.D.18. /""N. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve a joint application from the Collier County Museums and the Marco Island Historical Society to borrow significant artifacts found on Marco Island during the 1896 Pepper-Hearst Archaeological Expedition from the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History and University of Pennsylvania Museum for a temporary exhibit at the Marco . Island Historical Museum. OBJECTIVE: To return to Marco Island, temporarily, significant artifacts found during the 1896 Pepper-Hearst Archaeological Expedition. CONSIDERATIONS: The return on loan of Key Marco artifacts has been a shared objective of the Collier County Museum and the Marco Island Historical Society for more than two decades. In 1995-96, the Key Marco Cat was loaned to the main Collier County Museum in Naples with assistance from the Marco Island Historical Society. In 1999-2000, the MIHS facilitated its return to Marco Island's Citizen Community Bank for four months, where more than 18,000 people saw it on display. The funds raised from its return in 1999-2000 were instrumental to the foundation of an island-wide fundraising initiative that resulted in the Marco Island Historical Museum ten years later. The design of the museum building was even influenced by the prospect of accommodating similar loans in the future. The potential loan of the Key Marco artifacts to the first permanent museum on Marco Island—which was funded with that objective in mind through private donations and taxpayers dollars—is an important opportunity to reinsert these iconic artifacts into a social milieu that increasingly identifies with them after more than a century apart.There are no better artifacts in the world through which to engage,inspire,and educate people about Florida's early Native American cultures. The temporary exhibit will enable Marco Islanders, Floridians, and visitors from around the world to recognize the incredible complexity and artistic achievements of the people who lived in the very same place centuries earlier. Seeing the artifacts in their place of origin will add to the appeal for residents and visitors. Both lending institutions have indicated a willingness to work with the County and MINS on this project, and letters of support are included in the agenda item package. In October 2014, the Marco Island Historical Society initiated the "Cat-apult Campaign," a $1.2 million fundraising enterprise centered largely on the return of Key Marco artifacts via loan from the institutions that own them. As of May 2016, more than $1.015 million (85% of the target goal) has been raised. Of the total funds raised, $500,000 was set aside for any expenditure necessary to facilitate the successful execution of these loans. As part of the application process, the lending institutions will require an independent conservator to evaluate the appropriateness of the Marco Island Historical Museum to house the artifacts. The conservator may suggest temporary or permanent facilities improvements be made as a condition of the loan. When the conservator's report is received, staff will return with an agenda item outlining the fiscal impact of any necessary improvements or changes to the facility that may be required. Additional costs may include the loan fees and associated insurance,new interpretive material,and a promotion budget.At that time staff will also provide information on the estimated economic impact of the project, which is expected to be a tourism driver. If necessary or appropriate, the cost share arrangement between the County and the Marco Island Historical Society will be codified in a Memorandum of Understanding for the Board's consideration. Packet Page-1461- 6/28/2016 16.D.18. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with approving the submittal of the applications. /"1 As noted above, staff will provide the Board will a complete fiscal picture of this project after the required conservator's report is received. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and legality,and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this item. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves a joint application from the Collier County Museums and the Marco Island Historical Society to borrow significant artifacts found on Marco Island during the 1896 Pepper-Hearst Archaeological Expedition from the Smithsonian Institution and University of Pennsylvania.

Rationale for Requesting Smithsonian Objects The Collier County Museum (CCM) was established in 1978 to preserve and interpret the history, archaeology and development of Southwest Florida's last frontier. Permanent and traveling exhibits at the main Museum and at its four satellite facilities guide visitors through more than 10,000 years of local and regional history and provide a rich community resource for public education and enjoyment. Exhibitions are continually upgraded, expanded and improved to maintain the Museum's presence as a visible and valuable educational resource and to attract and hold new audiences.The focus and theme of these exhibits is as varied as the Museum's locations,subject matter and individual facilities. The CCM currently operates a five-acre historical park, exhibition hall and central collections archive at the County Government Center located in East Naples, Florida. In addition, the Museum currently maintains and operates four, separate satellite facilities in Southwest Florida: the Museum of the Everglades in Everglades City;the Immokalee Pioneer Museum at Roberts Ranch in Immokalee;the Naples Depot Museum in downtown Naples; and the Marco Island Historical Museum in Marco Island. The properties in Everglades City, Immokalee, and downtown Naples are listed on the "National Register of Historic Places." The Marco Island Historical Museum was constructed through a unique partnership between the CCM and the Marco Island Historical Society (MIHS). The MIHS, founded in 1994 as a chapter of the Collier County Historical Society and an independent non-profit organization since 1996, raised funds to build a 15,000 square-foot museum complex on three acres of Collier County property in central Marco Island. Upon completion in 2010,the 8,000 square-foot museum and 3,300 square-foot administration building were turned over to the CCM for operation as a satellite facility pursuant to a memorandum of understanding with the MIHS.The Rose History Auditorium, a 4,0000 square-foot event hall,was leased to the MIHS by Collier County under a separate agreement.The museum opened full-time in 2011 and is staffed by both CCM and MIHS employees. The MIHS maintains its own museum collection on the premises, and most objects on exhibit are from the MIHS collections.Admission is free of charge and the museum is open Tuesday thru Saturday,9am to 4pm. Now, the CCM and MIHS are partnering to request the loan of objects unearthed from Key Marco (now Marco Island) in 1896 by Smithsonian anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing to the Marco Island Historical Museum. In October 2014, the MIHS launched the "Cat-apult Campaign," a $1.2 million fundraising initiative centered largely around the return of Key Marco artifacts on loan from the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH), the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (UPenn), the Florida Museum of Natural History (FLMNH), the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI), and the British Museum.1 As of May 2016, the MIHS has raised $1.015 million (85%of the target goal).Of the total funds raised,up to$500,000 have been set aside for any expenditures necessary to facilitate the successful execution of these loans(conservation,insurance,shipping,security, environmental controls,facility improvements, couriers,etc.).The campaign has received extensive local and regional media coverage and excited residents and tourists who want to see the objects on display in Marco Island,the place where they were originally discovered. Artifacts were originally divided between the NMNH and the UPenn, but portions of the UPenn collection were later transferred to the FLMNH and the NMAI. The British Museum possesses the artifacts from Key Marco, collected by C.D. Durnford in 1895,that prompted Cushing's investigation of the site. 3 Packet Page -1467- 6/28/2016 16.D.18. The return on loan of Key Marco artifacts has been a shared objective of the CCM and MIHS for more than two decades. In 1995-96,the Key Marco Cat(A240915-0)was loaned to the main Collier County Museum in Naples with assistance from the MIHS. In 1999-2000, the MIHS facilitated its return to Marco Island's Citizens Community Bank for four months, where more than 18,000 people saw it on display.The funds raised from its return in 1999-2000 were instrumental to the foundation of an island-wide fundraising initiative that resulted in the construction of the Marco Island Historical Museum ten years later. The design of the museum building was even influenced by the prospect of accommodating similar loans in the future (see Intellectual Justification). The enormous publicity and recognition generated by previous loans of the Key Marco Cat have only heightened the fervor to see it and other Cushing artifacts displayed in the new Marco Island Historical Museum. The diminutive object has become a source of pride and identity for many Marco Island residents. Its likeness is frequently depicted in community artwork, jewelry, street signs, and local businesses. The United States Postal Service even featured the statuette on a 1989 postage stamp. As remarkable as the entire assemblage of artifacts is, the high-profile nature of the Key Marco Cat in particular has propelled it to "larger than life" status. In fact,one of the most recognizable landmarks on Marco Island is the six-foot-tall bronze Key Marco Cat sculpture that welcomes visitors to the Marco Island Historical Museum. The return of artifacts to their"places of origin" is a practice that the museum field has increasingly favored in recent decades, particularly in regard to the material culture of indigenous communities. Colonialist collecting practices utilized by many museums in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries resulted in the accumulation of artifacts in localities far from the cultures and landscapes in which they originated. Many well-established institutions in the United States have addressed past collecting techniques through the repatriation or loan of anthropological collections to their communities of origin. In the case of Cushing's Key Marco artifacts,there is no extant indigenous population that lays claim to them, nor has there been for more than 250 years, so there is little controversy over their extraction from a Florida archaeological site in 1896. Cushing also collected the artifacts with the permission of the landowner, W.D.Collier,so there is no question over the legality of the Smithsonian Institution's(and other museums) possession of the objects. However, the potential loan of Key Marco artifacts to the first permanent museum on Marco Island — which was funded with that objective in mind thru private donations and taxpayer dollars—is an important opportunity to reinsert these iconic artifacts into a social milieu that increasingly identifies with them after more than a century apart.By loaning the Key Marco Cat and other artifacts to the Marco Island Historical Museum,the Smithsonian Institution is enabling Marco Islanders, Floridians,and visitors from around the world to recognize the incredible complexity and artistic achievements of the people who lived in the very same place centuries earlier.There are no better artifacts in the world than those from Key Marco through which to engage, inspire, and educate people about Florida's early Native American cultures. Seeing the artifacts in their place of origin would add to the appeal for many visitors, including a majority that will likely never have the opportunity to see them in Washington D.C.The loan would also provide a boost to the local Marco Island and Collier County economies, particularly the Collier County tourist development tax,which is a significant source of funding for the CCM. The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (UPenn) and the Florida Museum of Natural History (FLMNH) have been contacted to request objects from their respective Key Marco collections.The requested objects are so unique that Cushing had difficulty divvying them"equally" between the Smithsonian and the UPenn,as he was required to do when he returned from his expedition 4 Packet Page-1468- 6/28/2016 16.D.18. in 1896.Three objects (two bone pins and one turtle bone "rectangle") from the FLMNH are already on loan and have been on display in the museum since November 2014.Additional artifacts,such as wooden float pegs and netting fragments, may be requested in the future.A wooden mask,two painted wooden animal figureheads (alligator and turtle), and a painted shell (with human figure inside) have been requested from the University of Pennsylvania for exhibit beginning in December 2017.Additionally,more than 50 objects on display from the MIHS collection are directly related to Cushing's Key Marco artifacts via site association.2 The Key Marco Cat,if approved for loan,would be reunited with these artifacts under one roof in December 2018. The Key Marco Cat could not be substituted with an object from another museum given its uniqueness and high public profile. This loan request affords the opportunity to physically display it alongside the Key Marco artifacts from other repositories for the first-time since Cushing divvied them up 120 years ago, along with artifacts recovered in recent decades from the same locality. 2 The"Court of the Pile Dwellers" (8CR49), Cushing's name for the muck-pit on Marco Island that yielded a spectacular assemblage of rare and perishable artifacts (see Intellectual Justification), was a small section of the larger "Key Marco" archaeological site (8CR48) first illustrated in Wells Sawyer's 1896 topographical map. The MIHS holds hundreds of artifacts in its collections excavated from 8CR48 during �-� archaeological surveys over the last 21 years. The site has largely been destroyed by modern dredging and development, but some subsurface strata remain intact. 5 Packet Page -1469- 6/28/2016 16.D.18. Intellectual Justification for the Loan Design and construction of the Marco Island Historical Museum (MIHM) began in 2008. From the very beginning, its designers kept the potential accommodation of high-profile loan artifacts in the forefront of their minds.The loan artifacts influenced the design and layout of the museum to the extent that a 118 square-foot "vault" room was built in the center of the exhibit building specifically to display them. The secure room is reinforced by four concrete walls(8"concrete masonry units)and a poured concrete ceiling (6").A fire-rated (4 hr)door is the sole entry-point and four fixed 2x3'fire-rated (2 hr)and impact safety- rated (CPSC 16CFR1201,Cat. II) display windows offer visitors a view inside. The MIHM opened full-time in 2011. More than 55% of the 8,000 square-foot exhibit building was reserved for three "permanent" exhibit galleries. The largest of these three galleries is a 2,700 square- foot space dedicated to the Native American people—the Calusa and their ancestors —that thrived on and near Marco Island for thousands of years prior to European contact. Much of what is known about Southwest Florida's indigenous people is owed to Frank Hamilton Cushing's 1896 Pepper-Hearst Expedition,which unearthed hundreds of ordinarily perishable items from anaerobic soil on what is now Marco Island.The intended exhibit would not only highlight Cushing's remarkable finds,but also elucidate the lifestyles of the people who originally made and used those items. Design work on this exhibit began in 2010, prior to the museum's opening, but stalled until the MIHS hired a Curator of Collections in June 2013 to direct the project. In November 2014, the MIHM opened its completed exhibit, Paradise Found: 6,000 Years of People on Marco Island. The exhibit has been well-received by visitors on TripAdvisor.com and was honored with the 2015 Florida Association of Museums award for Museum Excellence in Exhibits.3 Its completion marked an important milestone for the museum, generating a wave of positive momentum that has carried over into increased publicity, visitation, membership, and fundraising. The MIHS "Cat-apult Campaign," which raised funds to facilitate the loan of objects from the Smithsonian and other institutions, was launched in tandem with the new exhibit. The completion of the museum's final two "permanent" exhibits,Modern Marco Island(2015)4 and Pioneer Marco:A Tale of Two Villages(expected 2016), will continue to raise the profile of the MIHM to unprecedented heights in advance of arriving loans. Loan artifacts will be incorporated into the existing Paradise Found exhibit,which was designed and interpreted specifically with their future integration in mind. The "big idea" for Paradise Found, the central idea around which the entire narrative revolves, is that "people have lived on Marco Island for thousands of years." This idea is the first information communicated to visitors as they enter the exhibit, spelled out in the title at the top of an 8' introductory panel featuring original color illustrations by renowned Florida artist Merald Clark.The obvious dichotomy of the image is a metaphor for the entire exhibit. One half depicts Glades or Calusa people using several of the Key Marco artifacts when they were"new,"the other half shows Cushing and his team uncovering those same artifacts centuries later from the muck-site at Key Marco.Among the artifacts depicted is the Key Marco Cat,as well as numerous others from the Key Marco site.Ten other original images by Merald Clark appear throughout the exhibit,further enhancing the narrative and illustrating key concepts. 3 http://www.coastalbreezenews.com/2015/10/15/historical-museum-and-society-win-awards/ 4 http://www.naplesnews.com/news/local/exhibit-showcases-marcos-journey-from-remote-island-to- global-playground-ep-1309944991-340393031.html 6 Packet Page -1470- 6/28/2016 16.D.18. Through the display of original copy, artwork, images, and more than 300 objects from the MIHS collections, visitors are offered a chronological introduction to Marco Island's earliest inhabitants. The exhibit begins in the Plio-Pleistocene, providing scientific explanations of how Marco Island formed and became a hospitable place that would sustain human life for thousands of years. Three-million-year old shell fossils from a 2013 paleontological expedition illustrate the concept that Marco Island was once at the bottom of a shallow sea. Samples of Tamiami Formation limestone and associated index fossils help conceptualize the deposition of microscopic organisms that resulted in the formation of much of Collier County's (and Florida's) underlying bedrock. Fossil remains of Pleistocene vertebrate fauna offer insight into life in "Ice Age" Florida, a time when humans (Paleoindians) first ventured into Florida more than 12,000 years ago. Although no Paleoindian remains have been found (to date) on Marco Island, their presence at two sinkhole sites within 100 miles make it likely that they were the first people to ever"set foot" in this area,even though "Marco Island"would not become an island for another 6,000 years. During the Pleistocene,when sea levels were much lower and the Florida peninsula roughly twice as wide,wind-generated sand dunes formed on the south end of what would become Marco Island.These sand dunes are still the highest natural point in South Florida at more than 50 feet above sea level. Eventually, as sea levels rose and the shoreline receded,these dunes attracted people living in South Florida during the Archaic Period (7500 to 500 B.C.).Several archaeological sites on Marco Island and the adjacent Horr's Island date to the Archaic Period.The Horr's Island Archaic Village site (8CR209) reached its peak population between 3000 and 2400 B.C. and has changed the way archaeologists think about Archaic Floridians. Previously it was thought that people lived on the coast only seasonally, perhaps in the winter.After careful study of the shells, bones,and plant remains recovered from the 1989 dig,archaeologists now understand that people collected food and lived at Horr's Island year- round, making it the oldest known sedentary coastal village in the Southeast United States.The site predates the use of pottery in Florida (which began around 2000 B.C.),yielding instead an impressive assemblage of shell tools that became fundamental to life in Southwest Florida for centuries. Later Archaic sites on Marco Island have also yielded some of the oldest known fiber-tempered pottery in Florida. More than 40 shell and stone artifacts recovered from the Horr's Island Archaic Village are on display, including 10 from the ground-breaking 1989 excavation,on loan from the Florida Museum of Natural History.The others were collected in recent years during required cultural resource management surveys and gifted to the MIHS. People who lived on Marco Island after 500 B.C.were part of a cultural area known from pottery studies as the"Glades" region. Marco Island lies on the northernmost edge of the Glades region and just south of Calusa territory(the"Caloosahatchee" region). Pottery found on Marco Island is distinct from Calusa pottery until about A.D. 1300.Archaeologists believe that around this time,the increasingly powerful Calusa may have absorbed,allied with,or entirely replaced the Glades people on what is now Marco Island. Early European maps and written accounts of a place called "Muspa" (also "Muspa Island," "La Muspa," or"Punta de Muspa") likely refer to the Marco Island area. Consequently, Marco Island's long-time Glades residents are sometimes referred to as the"Muspa" or"Muspa Indians."Although their fate ultimately aligned with that of the Calusa,the Muspa are often overshadowed in history by their better-known successors.The famous archaeological artifacts found by Frank Hamilton Cushing at Key Marco are often automatically attributed to the Calusa, but depending on when the materials were made,the Muspa may actually be responsible. Fifty-five artifacts are on display in this section, including 48 incised pottery sherds from Marco Island that illustrate nine distinct Glades styles between A.D.500 and 1200. Other artifacts include reconstructed pottery vessels— .-• excavated from 8CR48 in 2004—and several shell, stone, and bone artifacts recovered from a possible 7 Packet Page -1471- 6/28/2016 16.D.18. "dedication cache" in a 1995 excavation at 8CR48 led by archaeologist Randolph Widmer(funded by the MIHS). The Calusa were a Native American people that lived in Southwest Florida for more than 1,500 years. They controlled most of Florida's southern peninsula, including Marco Island, by the time Spanish explorers arrived in 1513. Despite an ever-increasing European presence,they continued to live in this area for another 250 years.The Calusa were the last native Florida Indian group to succumb to the "invasion"from Europe,and one of the only known complex societies without a principal reliance on agriculture.The Calusa were so effective at collecting fish and shellfish that they simply had no need to farm.The Calusa domain reached the height of its influence in the mid-1500's, sometime after the arrival of Europeans.Though their capital was located on Mound Key in present-day Estero Bay,the Calusa exerted influence over Marco Island after A.D. 1300,when archaeologists believe the Calusa allied with, absorbed,or replaced the Glades people of Muspa.Thirty-nine artifacts from Marco Island are on display in this section, most of which demonstrate the various types (and possible functions)of shell tools used by the Muspa and Calusa—examples of a tradition refined over many centuries since the Archaic Period.Also on display are examples of Glades Tooled pottery(A.D. 1400-1513),which appears in both Glades and Calusa sites between A.D. 1400 and 1513,further validating the notion that Calusa influence had spread to Marco Island by that time. The essential elements that tie this 6,000+year chronology in Southwest Florida together are the marine and estuarine environments that have consistently supported human life.They were vital to the success of Marco Island's earliest residents,from the Archaic Indians to their Muspa and Calusa successors.The abundance of fish and shellfish allowed people to live on Marco comfortably year-round without farming.The leftover remains of these animals provided raw materials to produce a sophisticated line of tools that served a variety of everyday purposes.A central display case holds more than 40 examples of fishing technology,including dozens of original Marco Island artifacts made of bone,shell, and stone. Many of these artifacts are attributed to the"Muspa/Calusa" because their exact age is often unclear and the timeframe corresponds to both periods on Marco Island (500 B.C.—A.D. 1300;A.D. 1300— 1513).The underlying theme,that these cultures took advantage of their constantly regenerating source of food and technology, is applicable to the Archaic, Muspa, and Calusa cultures introduced earlier in the exhibit.The importance of estuaries as"cradles of the ocean" is discussed, as is the importance of living responsibly in order to preserve these resources for generations of Marco Islanders. Opposite this display case,visitors are introduced to some of the remarkable artistic achievements of the Muspa and Calusa cultures, indicators of their cultural complexity and a byproduct of the leisure time created by a surplus and management of resources. The efficiency of fishing and hunting tools allowed the Muspa and Calusa to dedicate less time to catching food and more time to art, religion, and leisure activities.Their proficient lifestyle led to an increased population and,in turn,the emergence of a complex society with distinct social classes.Artifacts on display include perforated sharks' teeth (probably hafted to wooden handles and used as carving tools),shell beads,shell plummets(possible pendants for personal decoration), perforated fish vertebrae (possible "ear spools"), ochre (recovered from 8CR48 in 1995, possibly used in paint), perforated turtle shell (possible rattle or personal decoration),and shell discs—all excavated from sites on and around Marco Island. Replicas of several painted Key Marco artifacts from Cushing's expedition (kingfisher tablet, turtle figurehead, painted shell figure), hafted shark-tooth tools, and a shell gorget complement the artifacts. All are indicative of the level of sophistication exhibited in the cultural materials of Marco's early inhabitants. 8 Packet Page -1472- 6/28/2016 16.D.18. A didactic panel and reader rail explain what ultimately became of the Calusa in Southwest Florida, particularly in relation to the arrival of Europeans in the 16th Century.Several Spanish artifacts,including an 8' long verso(swivel gun), silver coin,and pottery highlight a limited Spanish presence on and around Marco Island.The Calusa resisted European colonization for more than 200 years, but a combination of disease,warfare,slavery, and displacement eventually proved too much to overcome. By 1763,few Calusa people remained in Florida—and most that remained fled to Cuba.Southwest Florida's native people were suddenly gone,an abrupt end to more than 6,000 years of sustained and successful occupancy. It is possible that some Calusa survived in Florida alongside the Seminole people,who moved into South Florida in the 1800's and still live here today. However, because there is no living speaker of the Calusa language, nor is there a place to go and meet Calusa people,the Calusa are considered "extinct" as a culture.The exhibit section also discusses"how we know"the answers to some of the most common questions about the Calusa and their ancestors,explaining the importance of synthesizing historical documents with archaeological research. At this point,the exhibit pivots in focus to elaborate on the"how we know"theme,with particular regard to Frank Hamilton Cushing's famous 1896 archaeological expedition to Key Marco (Marco Island). An 8x4' graphic panel acts as a visual transition to the subject,featuring an enlarged watercolor painting by expedition artist Wells Sawyer and succinct quotes on the phenomenal importance of the Key Marco site by leading Florida archaeologists.The freestanding panel is backed by a 12x14' original June 21, 1896 newspaper headline from The Journal—pasted in a vinyl format onto the wall—demonstrating the public appeal and spectacular nature of the finds from the moment they were found.The "big idea"for this section,still germane to the overarching"big idea"that people have lived on Marco Island for thousands of years, is that"Marco Island is home to one of the most important archaeological sites ever discovered in North America." A didactic panel and reader rail, inconspicuously covering the secure door to the"vault"with a sliding rail mechanism, introduces visitors to Frank Hamilton Cushing and the fortuitous circumstances that resulted in his expedition to Key Marco.Topics include a biographical profile of Cushing,the original discovery of the artifacts by Marco resident W.D.Collier,Cushing's reconnaissance expedition in 1895 (May—June 1895), and the formation of the Pepper-Hearst Expedition (Dec. 1895—May 1896).A firsthand account by Wells Sawyer upon arrival at Key Marco's"unpromising muck hole"teases visitors anticipating the surprising discoveries around the corner.An illustrated timeline (reader rail)takes visitors on the voyage with Cushing, noting important milestones between the site's discovery in 1895 until his untimely death in 1900. Cushing's discoveries were,as he described, "literally startling"—and to this day have not been duplicated. More than 1,000 artifacts were recovered,including painted wooden masks,carved animal figureheads, netting, and cordage—centuries old and improbably well-preserved.Thanks to the unique oxygen-free conditions of a "muck pit"on Capt.W.D.Collier's property,an unusual abundance of organic materials emerged from the ground in "almost new"condition.The result is a spectacular assemblage of artifacts that,to this day,offers unparalleled insight into Southwest Florida's indigenous people. Highlighting the extraordinary nature of his finds are three windows into the aforementioned vault,each showcasing high-quality replicas of some of the"blockbuster" items recovered from the dig. To the left of the vault windows is an introductory panel reiterating the spectacular nature of the Key Marco finds alongside an original topographical map of Key Marco produced by Wells Sawyer. In the center of the vault is a replica the Key Marco Cat.This is the intended location of requested loan artifact A240915-0. Flanking it are three replica wooden animal figureheads on the left(in a separate 9 Packet Page -1473- 6/28/2016 16.D.18. case and window), and two replica painted wooden masks on the right(in a separate case and window). '~ These are the intended display locations for two loaned animal figureheads and one mask from the UPenn respectively. Each window has its own exterior reader rail,with copy, photographs,and artwork specific to the types of items in the cases. In order to effectively capture and engage visitors, many of whom have at least some prior knowledge of the Key Marco Cat,the associated interpretive copy is written in an informal voice and speaks generally to the broad present-day appeal of the artifact, making it more immediately relatable to readers. Cushing's vivid description of the artifact is also included for reference. Photographs show the object shortly after it was originally found, as well as on a modern postage stamp and street sign, emphasizing its gradual ascension into a present-day cultural icon. Object labels inside the cases,fabricated from white PVC sintra, provide basic details that include the object type, material composition, cultural affiliation, date range, credit line, and catalog number.These object labels will be updated to reflect approved loan items. The cultural affiliation for the Key Marco artifacts is consistently designated as"Muspa/Calusa" throughout the exhibit due to inconsistencies and uncertainty surrounding the age of the objects. Key Marco was probably occupied for at least 1,000 years—from roughly A.D. 500 to 1500.The presence of certain pottery styles place the site as early as A.D. 500, and radiocarbon dates—taken in the 1970's— generally place the site between A.D.650 to 900.The only exceptions are a wooden canoe paddle dated to A.D. 55 and a piece of fiber to A.D. 1670.The radiocarbon dates are controversial to some, however, who argue that pesticides applied during museum storage may have altered the results, making the artifacts appear older. Even so,the site probably dates to no later than A.D. 1500, because no European materials were found in Cushing's excavation.Thus,the broad range of A.D.500-1500 has been applied to all Key Marco artifacts on display.Any distinction between Muspa (Glades) or Calusa would require more specific dates on individual objects,which are presently indeterminable.Thus,the vault items are --� simply designated as"Muspa/Calusa,A.D.500-1500." Existing exhibit copy was produced by the MIHS Curator of Collections with review and consultation from experts at the Florida Museum of Natural History and other institutions.The MIHS is prepared to fund and execute any necessary interpretive modifications in consultation with experts at the Smithsonian Institution. Inside the vault,three separate wall-mounted cases were built into the display windows.The interior volume of each case is roughly 13,219 in'(34.5 x 22.875 x 16.75").Visitors cannot see beyond the interior of the case into the vault.The cases are supported by 3' beams that anchor them to the floor and each has a built-in desiccant shelf.These three cases were intended to house loan artifacts, but may need to be retrofitted or rebuilt due to original construction with MDF material in 2014.Current case materials consist of CARB2 compliant MDF,water based contact, Formica black laminate,water based wood glue, and 100%polyester fabric. Internal LED case lights, powered by individual exterior transformers on top of each case,can be manipulated to appropriate levels by dimmers. Limited ambient lighting(26-32 lux) currently enters the case through the display windows.The windows are fixed 2x3'fire-rated (2 hr) and impact safety-rated (CPSC 16CFR1201,Cat. II)glass.The internal case lights are currently on a timer so that they are only illuminated during operating hours.The MIHS is prepared to fund and execute any necessary case modifications in consultation with its fabricators and the Smithsonian Institution. The vault is a secure room with one fire-rated (4 hr)door partially hidden behind a large sliding interpretive panel.The bottom of the door is painted to match the walls on either side of it,further "camouflaging" it into the exhibit.The door itself has both a locking handle and a deadbolt lock. Each of the three cases inside the vault is further secured by individual hasp locks,which can be fortified with a padlock.The overall museum building is secured with an alarm system that is activated daily. A proposal 10 Packet Page -1474- 6/28/2016 16.D.18. for a closed circuit camera system at the Marco Island Historical Museum has been provided to the CCM and will be installed and operational prior to the proposed loan in December 2018.The MINS is willing to fund any additional security measurements to further fortify the building in consultation with its contractors and the Smithsonian Institution. A 50-day study of the vault's environmental conditions was conducted in 2015 using an ELSEC Model 765 Handheld Environment Monitor Data Logger.The data logger was placed on the interior display surface of the central window case,adjacent to a replica of the Key Marco Cat. Data was recorded at one minute intervals over a period of 50 days,from August 26, 2015 to October 15, 2015, during the latter part of Florida's"wet" and hurricane seasons. Marco Island experienced days of heavy rain, high temperatures, and high relative humidity during this period.The museum's multiple thermostats (which control localized sections of the overhead HVAC system)were programmed during this time to automatically set to 75°F every day at 9:00AM and 78°F every day at 4:15PM.These settings are adjustable and can be customized to meet the requirements of the lending institution.With the daily 3°F fluctuation in thermostat settings,the average temperature over 50 days was 74.10°F±0.79°F.The average relative humidity was 48.82%±0.48%.An average of 164-165 lux(15.2-15.3 foot-candle)was emitted daily from the LED lights when set to maximum brightness.The lights are attached to dimmer switches and adjustable to 0 lux.Ambient exhibit lighting(from outside the vault)accounts for an additional 26-32 lux(2.4-3.0 foot-candle) during operating hours.Ambient lighting can be redirected to reduce impact on the vault display cases if necessary. A second study was conducted from October 16, 2015 to October 23, 2015 to monitor conditions inside the vault but outside of the display cases. For this study,the thermostat was set to 75°F for the entire week, 24 hours per day.The temperature (75.22°F±0.27°F) and relative humidity(48.44%±0.17%) were comparable to those measured from August 26—October 15.The stricter environmental control resulted in less variation in temperature and relative humidity. From these preliminary studies,the environment appears stable and can be adjusted to meet the needs of lending institutions,with further microclimate modification possible in case interiors through the use of desiccants, built-in desiccant shelves,or other means as prescribed by the lending institution.The MIHS is prepared to fund and execute any necessary environmental modifications in consultation with experts at the Smithsonian Institution. In the event of an environmental disaster, loans are subject to the Collier County Museum Network Emergency Operation Plan (EOP), unless otherwise instructed by the lending institution. Beyond the vault,visitors encounter a didactic panel with original copy, photographs, and artwork,as well as a touch-screen interactive "dig site."The panel explains scientific properties behind the preservation of the Key Marco artifacts,the innovative (for the time)excavation techniques,the tough working conditions, and the importance of artist Wells Sawyer,who documented so many of the finds that disintegrated soon after removal from the anaerobic soil.The Key Marco artifacts are exceptionally rare because many were derived from perishable materials such as wood, plant fiber,gourd,and natural pigment.These material types usually decay at a much faster rate than stone, ceramic,shell, and bone artifacts—the "stuff"that archaeologists usually find in Southwest Florida sites. It is remarkable that such fragile artifacts survived for centuries in a humid tropical environment. If they hadn't been protected by an unusual combination of muck, peat, marl,and shell,they would have fully decomposed in a matter of several months or years. Because most of the Key Marco artifacts were made of wood, Key Marco offers the most"complete" known representation of material culture in pre-Columbian Southwest Florida.The groundbreaking excavation techniques used by Cushing and his team are expounded upon in an interactive touch-screen "dig site"that allows users to navigate Cushing's original site grid, "digging"for artifacts with their fingers. Nineteen artifacts are available to"uncover"within 11 Packet Page-1475- 6/28/2016 16.D.18. the grid, each in its corresponding unit, as first reported by Cushing in his 1896 publication "A '1 Preliminary Report on the Exploration of Ancient Key-Dweller Remains on the Gulf Coast of Florida." For example,when users"dig" inside unit 15,they will uncover the Key Marco Cat,at which point a graphic appears, informing the user of what they've found, accompanied by Wells Sawyers' photographs and artwork. The final component of the didactic portion of the exhibit is a large curved wall that goes into greater depth on the Key Marco archaeological site via copy, photographs,and artwork.Topics include further interpretation of the site itself,the people that lived there (often overshadowed by their material culture),the difficulties in ascribing a date and cultural affiliation to the site,Cushing's excavation methods compared to those of today,theories as to how and why the artifacts were originally deposited into the site,the history and distribution of the Cushing collection over the past 100 years, and the legacy of Cushing's expedition and its impact on Florida archaeology. Nearby is a 41x41" miniature village diorama (often a favorite of visitors), built by museum volunteers in 1999 for the most recent Key Marco Cat loan. It has been retrofitted and upgraded to match the new exhibit,with new interpretation and a model key to interpret the various buildings and structures.The large curved wall acts as a natural visual barrier to the immersive full-scale"village" behind it. As visitors round the corner, presumably having absorbed some basic context and understanding about the Calusa and their ancestors from the preceding didactic displays,they encounter six life-size figures in a full-scale "village"scene,each performing an important aspect of daily life. Five reader rails accompany the figures,each with artwork and images(and some with relevant artifacts),detailing specifics about daily life in a Muspa or Calusa community.Topics or"stations" include pottery-making, spirituality, leadership,fishing, personal adornment, and weaponry.An elaborately fabricated "village" scene, including thatched huts,shell mounds,sand "floor,"tidal creek,tools, personal accessories, native plants, projected lighting effects, and 104' scenic background mural create an "immersive experience."The alternation between didactic and immersive displays was modeled after a similar exhibit at the Florida Museum of Natural History.Visitor studies showed that people most enjoyed the immersive exhibit sections, but spent the most time in the didactic sections.The village is an opportunity for visitors to apply broader understandings learned in the didactic section to more specific topics in the immersive section through a decrease in didactic interpretation and increase in visual stimuli. Plans for a new display case—that will be designed to appear as"Cushing's desk"—are being developed as an enhancement to the didactic display. Inside a secure protective vitrine will be a bronze casting of the Key Marco Cat, acquired by the MIHS in 2015 and purported to have at one time belonged to Frank Hamilton Cushing. Preliminary analysis by experts familiar with the Key Marco Cat, as well licensed antique appraisers, have not disproven its provenance. In fact,a visible patina seems to indicate that the bronze has some age to it,as patina typically takes many years to form under natural conditions. Interestingly, many of intimate details of the actual Key Marco Cat(such as asymmetrical ears,the underside of the carving,and the location of numerous cracks or fissures)are precisely correct in this casting, lending more credibility to the theory that it once belonged to Cushing. More research is necessary, however,and the answers could lie in the National Anthropological Archives,where much of Cushing's correspondence related to the Pepper-Hearst Expedition is preserved.A research trip will be conducted to search for more information about possible castings made from the requested Key Marco Cat mold (A240915A-0),which would be placed next to this casting on display.Additional objects to be included in this case: an original copy of Cushing's 1896 report,signed by Cushing to a "Mr. Orchard" (probably museum curator William C. Orchard)and acquired by the MIHS in 2015; replica 1890's pen 12 Packet Page-1476- 6/28/2016 16.D.18. and inkwell;a controversial painted clam with human figure on loan from the UPenn; replica 1890's magnifying glass; a signed affidavit from members of Cushing's field crew verifying the authenticity of the painted clam figure on loan from the University of Florida Smathers Library.The MIHS is prepared to fund the design and fabrication of this"desk" display case in consultation with experts at the Smithsonian Institution and the University of Pennsylvania. In summary,the Marco Island Historical Museum has constructed an entire "permanent" exhibit around the idea that"people have lived on Marco Island for thousands of years,"with particular reverence paid to the Key Marco artifacts excavated by Frank Hamilton Cushing in 1896. Many of these artifacts have been incorporated into an exhibit narrative with object-specific interpretation in hopes of returning said objects on loan from the Smithsonian and other institutions.The MIHS is prepared to fund and execute any modifications to existing casework,interpretation,security,or environmental conditions to meet any and all requirements of the lending institutions. The MIHS is also prepared to fund "site visits" by Smithsonian representatives to the Marco Island Historical Museum if necessary to help determine any necessary modifications, as well as any necessary expenses for services such as conservation, condition reporting, photography, bracket making, packing,shipping,courier costs, insurance, etc. The target audience for this exhibit is residents of Marco Island, Naples, and Collier County, as well as state, national, and international tourists. Collier County welcomed a record 1.8 million tourist visitors in 2015, an increase of 3.1%from 2014.The estimated economic impact on Collier County from these visits was$1.95 billion. Roughly 350,000 of all visitors(19%)came from Europe and Canada. Florida saw record- breaking visitation in 2015 as well,with more than 105 million total visitors.The average occupancy rate in Florida during 2015 was 72%, 2.2%greater than the previous record set in 2014. In 2014, Marco Island was rated TripAdvisor's#1 island in the United States, and#4 in the world (TripAdvisor Traveler's Choice Awards 2014).5 Combined with Marco Island's rapidly expanding international profile and its museum's increasing popularity,the addition of high-profile loan artifacts from revered institutions becomes a major attractant to international tourists weighing Marco Island as a vacation destination. A return of Cushing artifacts on loan would contribute directly to Collier County's current streak of record-breaking visitation. Visitation to the Marco Island Historical Museum has also risen steadily since its full-time opening in 2011. The completion of three permanent exhibits (2014, 2015, and expected 2016) has contributed greatly to increased visitation, as has a constant stream of rotating exhibits, events, and public programs. In 2015, nearly 18,000 people visited the Marco Island Historical Museum during normal operating hours, not including thousands more who attended special events such as monthly lecture series and exhibit receptions. In 2016, the visitation rate has increased dramatically, with 16,833 visitors thru April 30th. At the current rate (and based on historic data trends), an estimated 31,000 people will visit the museum in 2016.This figure far surpasses Marco Island's estimated population of 17,460 (U.S. Census Bureau 2014) due to Marco Island's status as a premier tourist destination,annually attracting visitors from around the world. During "season" (November to March), the island's temporary population swells to in excess of 30,000. The median age on Marco Island is 63,which is 58% higher than the statewide average (40). Nearly half (47%)of the population is over the age of 65, meaning many of the museum's visitors are senior citizens and/or retirees. Similar demographics are reflected in visitation statistics, but many young families also live on Marco Island,which is home to an elementary school,middle school,and high school.The museum 5 http://www.naplesnews.com/news/marco-named-no-1-island-in-the-us-by-tripadvisor-ep-459937264- 341424491.htm l 13 Packet Page-1477- 6/28/2016 16.D.18. regularly hosts local school groups in an effort to engage younger audiences. For example, at the annual Family Archaeology Day, children are introduced to the Key Marco Cat and other important artifacts by drawing them at a coloring station. This loan, given its "blockbuster" nature and affiliation with the revered Smithsonian Institution, is an opportunity for the Marco Island Historical Museum to attract greater diversity in its audience, including schoolchildren, young people, and tourists. Numerous public programs, guest speakers, and events would coincide with the return of the artifacts on loan, further disseminating knowledge about Marco Island's remarkable history and its affiliation with some of the world's greatest museums. 14 Packet Page -1478- 6/28/2016 16.D.18. 40% c omitnsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History Department of Anthropology April 6, 2016 Board of Collier County Commissioners 3299 Tamiami Trail East, Suite 303 Naples, FL 34112 Dear Board of Commissioners, The Marco Island Historical Society (MIHS)recently contacted the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH)regarding their upcoming exhibition, "Paradise Found: 6000 Years of People on Marco Island,"which is scheduled to open on December 3, 2017, and close on April 4, 2021.

Artifacts requested include a wooden mask (40713), wooden sea turtle figure (40715), wooden alligator figure (40718A &40718B), and painted shell (40796). The proposed artifacts are to be incorporated into an existing "permanent" exhibit, titled Paradise Found: 6,000 Years of People on Marco Island, which opened in November 2014. The exhibit conveys the "big idea"that"people have lived on Marco Island for thousands of years," with particular reverence paid to the artifacts recovered from Key Marco (now Marco Island) by anthropologist Frank Hamilton Cushing in 1896. Replicas of the proposed artifacts are currently on exhibit with object-specific interpretation already in place. The MIHS is prepared to fund any necessary modifications in consultation with the University of Pennsylvania Museum. The proposed loan will overlap with the loan of other Key Marco artifacts from the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, such as the famed "Key Marco Cat," reuniting them under one roof for the first time since being divvied up by Cushing. The proposed loan dates are December 3, 2017 to April 4, 2021 —a period of 3 years, 5 months— with the option to submit a loan renewal request. A facilities report for the Marco Island Historical Museum is attached for review. Thank you for your consideration, we look forward to partnering with your institution on what would be a significant event for Marco Island and its surrounding community. Respectfully, Amanda 0.
