Archaeology Works: Fishing
Time: 10:00 am til 12:00 pm
Location: Weedon Island Preserve, 1800 Weedon Drive NE, Saint Petersburg
Description: People have been fishing Florida’s rivers, lakes, and coastal waters for thousands of years, but how did they catch their meals without the modern gear we use today? Especially along the Gulf Coast, archaeologists have found tantalizing clues about how Florida’s first residents fished these waters. Learn how archaeologists study artifacts linked to fishing like dugout canoes, ancient fishing hooks, and nets then see a thousand year old dugout canoe found at the Weedon Island Preserve for yourself.
