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

Life and Death at Rachel K. Wentz

In 1982, a backhoe operator demucking a small pond at the new Windover Farms housing development in Titusville, Florida, uncovered a human skull. The bones of several other individuals soon emerged from the pond’s base and researchers would be astounded to learn that the burials were constructed over 7,000 years ago. The pond held the remains of over 168 well-preserved skeletons, along with hand woven textiles, beautifully constructed artifacts, and ancient soft tissue. The discovery of Windover Pond was just the beginning of an archaeological adventure that continues to this day. $7.95 on Kindle.
