Description: For thousands of years, humans have been utilizing their natural environment for the purpose of treating the sick. This presentation will examine the evidence for medicine at the Windover site, an Archaic site from Florida that produced the well-preserved remains of 168 individuals. We’ll explore the objects that accompanied them to the grave and the skeletons themselves for evidence that people were treating the sick and prolonging life in one of Florida’s ancient populations.
