Madira Bickel Mound State Archeological Site, Archaeological site in Terra Ceia, United States.

Madira Bickel Mound is an archaeological site in Florida featuring earthen mounds built by the region's earliest inhabitants. The main mound and surrounding structures are composed of sand, shells, and other natural materials that accumulated over many centuries of occupation.

The site was established by early Manasota peoples who lived here over 2000 years ago and built the earthen mounds visible today. Excavations have revealed that the location was occupied and used by successive groups across many centuries.

The site is named for Madira Bickel of Sarasota, who with her husband Karl bought the land around the main mound and gave it to the state in 1948. Scholars hold that the mound stayed ceremonially important to the historic Tocobaga, who formed as a people before European contact in the late sixteenth century and survived into the eighteenth.

The site lies on Bayshore Drive on Terra Ceia Island, west of U.S. 19 and a mile south of I-275. Graduated stairways lead up the 20-foot main mound to a fenced clearing at the top that overlooks the park. The circular Prine Burial Mound, about 40 feet wide and 2 feet high, stands elsewhere in the 10-acre grounds.

The property was donated in 1948 by Madira and Karl Bickel and became Florida's first officially protected archaeological site. This gift marked the beginning of organized preservation efforts for archaeological places in the state.
