Listeros,
The important archaeological site known as the Miami Circle was saved
from developers by the state of Florida in 2000 and a cultural museum
will go up on the site. It is probably the work of the nomadic
Tequesta culture. The radio-carbin dates place this site at 2000 years
old. Among the items excavated are shell tools, stone axe heads, human
teeth, a shark skeleton, dolphin skull and a sea turtle.
Two galena artifacts were found and galena comes from Missouri, the
Mississippi Valley, Illinois and Kentucky and was used for white
pigment and to make beads and pendants. The exact source of the Miami
Circle galena is Central Missouri.
Tools have been found made from deer feet and shark teeth and a
decorated bone artifact with engraved circles.
News from Indian Country has this update with photos on the site and
its circular posts;
