CFAS Lecture Series: Life And Death At Windover
Time: 7:00 pm til 9:00 pm
Location: Leu Gardens: 1920 North Forest Avenue, Orlando, FL 32803
Description: The June CFAS meeting will feature a presentation by Dr. Rachel Wentz, director of the Florida Public Archaeology Network East Central Region. In 1982, a backhoe operator working at what would become the new Windover Farms housing development in Titusville, Florida, uncovered a human skull. The bones of several other individuals soon emerged from the peat bog. It would be determined that the human remains uncovered at Windover were between 7,000 and 8,000 years old, making them 3,200 years older than King Tutankhamen and 2,000 years older than the Great Pyramids of Egypt. This was just the beginning of an archaeological adventure that continues today. We will have two books authored by Dr. Wentz for sale at meeting: \"Life and Death at Windover\" and \"Chasing Bones\".rnrnThe meeting is free and open to the public.
