North of the Town of Crystal River. For 1,600 years, beginning around 200 B.C., these 14 acres were an imposing prehistoric ceremonial center for Florida's Native Americans. These people traveled great distances to the complex to bury their dead with ceremony and to participate in trade activities. It is estimated that 7,500 Indians might have visited the complex annually. Artifacts such as arrowheads, pottery, jewelry, stone and bone tools are on exhibition.
