Florida Frontiers “The Windover Dig”

1982, backhoe operator Steve Vanderjagt was working to clear the area around a pond in what would become the Windover Farms subdivision in Titusville, Florida, near the intersection of Interstate 95 and State Road 50. It was quickly apparent that the remains of several very old skeletons had been disturbed. The human remains uncovered at the Windover site were between 7,000 and 8,000 years old. Nearly 200 separate, intact burials were excavated at the Windover site. With only a couple of exceptions, the bodies had been ritualistically buried. Other discoveries at the Windover Dig help add to our understanding of prehistoric people.
