Archaeological excavations at Brickell Point in 1998, uncovered a circle of postholes and cut basins into the limestone bedrock measuring 11.2 meters in diameter. Within the floor of the feature were a shark skeleton, a bottlenosed dolphin cranium, and a sea turtle shell—all aligned in an east-west axis. Artifacts included numerous non-local materials such as basaltic celts from the Appalachian Mountains, copper from the Mid-West, and galena.

Since that discovery, twelve other circles have been uncovered at the mouth of the Maimi River. Radiocarbon dates of AD 200–700 indicate a major town and trade center associated with the Tequesta, a stratified society that did not practice agriculture but created a complex society based on maritime resources. This is the southernmost prehistoric trade center in the US, 1500 years before the creation of the City of Miami.
