"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. In 1984 near Titusville, Florida, 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.

It provides the first detailed overview of the population, in particular the mortuary customs, from this Early Archaic era."--BOOK JACKET.
