Perfect Day at an Ancient Florida Shell Mound with Fossils

On this day we visited an Ancient Florida Indian shell mound near the St. John's Upper Marsh. We saw several fossils such as a deer jaw with intact molars, vertebrae, and an alligator scoot. There were St. John's incised, linear check stamped, punctated, and plain type textures at this site. Next, we trekked through the woods to another ancient shell mound. This mound was covered in Brazilian pepper plants. There were three shell mounds at this location. The second mound was fairly large about 2 acres in size. One could suppose that this site sustained a fairly large population of Natives in Precolumbian times.
