PDF-(DOWNLOAD)-Life and Death at Windover: Excavations of a 7,000-Year-Old Pond Cemetery

In 1982 a backhoe operator working at what would become the new Windover Farms housing development in Titusville Florida uncovered a human skull The bones of several other individuals soon emerged from the peat bog It would be determined that the human remains uncovered at Windover were between 7000 and 8000 years old making them 3200 years older than King Tutankhamen and 2000 years older than the Great Pyramids of Egypt This was just the beginning of an archaeological adventure that continues todayWindover is truly a unique site that continues to astonish Dr Wentz does a wonderful job of telling the two stories of Windover One is the story of the people who lived in the area and are buried in the pond The other story introduces you to the amazing people and circumstances which made the excavation possible From its discovery by a backhoe operator and a concerned and interested landowner to the crew who worked on the project Wentz effectively captures the stories of a fascinating archaeological discovery.

This is an exceedingly important site for the whole of New World archaeological interpretations. The preservation at this site was phenomenal, with the oldest textiles represented in the Southeast and other artifacts of extreme interest. Glen Doran\'s book is a lasting contribution to the literature on the subject.--Catherine S. Fowler, University of Nevada, RenoThe contents of this volume furnish the most complete, important, interesting, and thoroughly documented account of human activities and intertwining environmental conditions that existed 7,500 years ago in Florida or anywhere in the Western Hemisphere.--Barbara Purdy, professor emerita, University of Florida With respect to the bog burial tradition, Florida is unique, producing one of the largest inventories of North American skeletal remains older than 6,000 years. Near Titusville, Florida, in 1984, excavations began at the Windover archaeological site, the New World\'s largest cemetery of this antiquity. This book is the first complete summary of the multiple investigations conducted there by archaeologists and specialists from across the nation and provides the first detailed overview of the population, and in particular the mortuary customs, from this Early Archaic era. The human remains uncovered at Windover are more numerous than at any site of its date and their preservation is truly phenomenal, making the site an unparalleled research opportunity. In addition to brain tissue, it houses the most complete inventory of organic artifacts that these early people manufactured and used, including a complex group of objects made from bone, antler, wood, and fabric seldom preserved in sites of this age and the largest collection of hand-woven materials from this period in the New World. With increasing controversy surrounding the disturbance of Native American human burial sites and legislation designed to restrict investigation of such places, Windover may be one of the last large, truly unique cemetery investigations and analyses that American archaeology will undertake.1.  Introduction to Wet Sites and Windover (8BR246) Investigations, by G.

We are all about to know that pond lining films plays a crucial role in modern fish culture or Aquaculture, it is helps to raising fish. Plastic pond lining sheets serving as the protective barrier that keeps water holds in the pond. Modern day agriculture farming is booming now days. Now you can grow water lilies & lotus are beautiful aquatic plants in ponds using pond liner. Biofloc Technology (BFT) a hybrid approach that integrates biofloc technology with traditional aquaculture practices. It improved water quality and waste recycling, while maintaining the operational simplicity of traditional pond culture. Using plastic pond lining films in fish farming offers several benefits, including water retention, ease of maintenance, and improved water quality control. While liners are primarily used to hold water, they also offer other benefits.
