The Biscayne Red type is a pottery type from northern St. Johns and east-central Florida. The type is well smoothed and has a red slip (Willey 1949:446). 

As described by Willey 1949:446:

Definition as a type: By Willey (n.d.) from south Florida. The type Dunns Creek Red from the St. Johns drainage seeems identical. This type was first described by J. B. Griffin (not published) and later by Goggin (1984a).

Ware characteristics: A soft, chalky pottery. Core is dark gray or black and the surfaces buff. Fire mottling is common. Surfaces well smoothed, often polished over paint. One or both surfaces are covered with a red slip which ranges from light red to red-brown. Paint tends to rub off easily but appears to have been fired on.

Form: Open shallow bowls and flattened-globular bowls are most common. Rim unmodified; lip round or flat-round.

Geographical range of type: Throughout Florida peninsula. Seems to center in northern St. Johns and east-central Florida.

Chronological position of type: Goggin (1948a) reports it as diagnostic of Weeden Island I and St. Johns I. It also occurs later on the Gulf Coast.
