Lecture - Archaeology at Little Salt Spring
Time: 1:00 pm til 3:00 pm
Location: University of South Florida Library, Grace Allen Room (4th Floor)
Description: Since the 1960s it has been known that Little Salt Spring, located in Sarasota County, is a drowned sinkhole over 70 meters deep, containing some of the oldest and most unique artifacts yet discovered in Florida. Wooden tools 6,000 to 10,000 years old, as well as exceptionally well preserved plant and animal remains, are submerged in anoxic spring water that has minimized decomposition of a wide range of organic remains and artifacts missing almost completely from terrestrial sites. Join Dr. John Gifford, Professor Emeritus at the University of Miami, as he discusses some of the exciting findings from this unique prehistoric deep-water site.
