Tracing the First Floridians, the Paleoindians

Location: South Manatee Branch Library, 6081 26th St W, Bradenton, Florida

Description: Archaeologists hunt down clues from the past using scientific methods to study what people's lives were like hundreds or thousands of years ago. Exciting research by archaeologists across Florida is shedding light on some of our state's earliest residents: the Paleoindians. Whether through the study of ancient tool types or by looking for Paleoindian habitation sites that are now located in the Gulf of Mexico, archaeologists are using cutting-edge tools to learn more about what Florida was like more than 10,000 years ago. This talk will explore what we know about Florida's first residents, as well as how archaeology can inform us about this little understood part of our past.
