Timucuan Indian Burial Ground - St. Augustine, FL - New World Ancient Evidence on Waymarking.com

In 1934, while preparing to plant orange trees a short distance from the "Fountain of Youth" spring, workmen uncovered human bones. The Smithsonian Institution was called to evaluate the site. Further excavations revealed over 100 indian skeletons, both pre-historic and Christian indian burials. This site was declared to be one of the most important archeological finds in the Southeast. These remains have since been re-buried with Christian and Indian ceremonies. Additional information is available on the internet (visit link).
