Lecture - THE MULTIPLICITY OF HERITAGE AT WARM MINERAL SPRINGS
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: North Port Community United Church of Christ located at 3450 Biscayne Blvd, North Port
Description: New College student Jodi Johnson will present “The Multiplicity of Heritage at Warm Mineral Springs” at our May 14 meeting. Warm Mineral Springs is a significant and complex heritage site. Layer upon layer of history, dating back to the paleo and archaic periods and extending well into current times, can be found in coexistence at the spring. Since its archaeological discovery in 1950’s and the subsequent discoveries of paleo and archaic human remains and artifacts through several archaeological excavations, it has fluctuated between intense scientific scrutiny, development, and abandonment.
Jodi Johnson is a thesis student at New College of Florida, where she is studying anthropology with a concentration in heritage-site management. She is a North Port resident and a member of the Sarasota Historical Commission, Vice-President of the Warm Mineral Springs/Little Salt Spring Archaeological Society, and President of the Ancient Waters Foundation
