Indian Mounds You Can Visit: 165 Aboriginal Sites on Florida's West Coast
I. Mac Perry
  ISBN-10: 0820010391     ISBN-13:9780820010397
Size 5-1/2 inches x 8-1/2 inches, 320 pages, b&w photos, illustrations, index, 2nd ed. © 1998
When Columbus arrived in the New World, 100,000 people (or more) already lived in Florida and had been here for thousands of years. These primitive people built mounds for ceremonial and practical purposes. Though most mounds have succumbed to the bulldozer, many still exist and may be visited. Author I. Mac Perry tells where to find them, describes what was found when they were excavated, and explains what recovered artifacts tell us about the lives of the ancient people who left them behind. Organized by county, with sidebars, charts, photographs and drawings.
`. . . an informative and entertaining book about archaeological sites on Florida 's west coast . . . clearly written and well organized. --Florida Anthropological Society
