Florida
Indians: Florida needs to have a page onto it's
self. During the ice age Indians flocked to Florida for
the same reasons that people do today; warm weather. Florida
has a long and rich Indian history. When the first Indians
arrived in Florida the state was twice the size that it
is today. Lowered sea levels made Florida a very different
place. Paleo Indians hunted Mammoths, Mastodons, and other
extinct animals. Anywhere you find a freshwater supply;
you can bet you'll find Indian artifacts. Agatized coral
or what is fossilized Miocene coral was much used for
making points & tools. This beautiful gem quality
stone is often translucent and comes in many colors from
clear, white, yellow, orange, blue, red, and black. Florida
Indians crafted from coral some of the finest points ever
made.
