The 8,000-Year-Old Cemetery Found Beneath A Florida Pond — And The Human Brain Tissue Still Preserved Inside The Skulls
The community’s understanding of why this pond was the right place is not recoverable.
The evidence that it was understood as such is written in the archaeological record.
Eight thousand years is a long time.
The people buried in that pond lived before the invention of writing, before the founding of any city or civilization, before the development of agriculture in the Americas, before most of what we call history began.
They were fully modern human beings, capable of the same range of thought and feeling and social organization as any people alive today.
They wove clothing from palm fiber.
