BUILT MANY CENTURIES AG(
F.orica's Shell Mounds Believed to
Date Back to Before Beginning
of Christian Era


F1orida's shell mounds, which are
found in different portions of the
state. are unquestionably Of human
construction. and were probably built
by some race of people who inhabited
the country about the beginning OF the
Christian era. These mounds We're
found overgrown with heritage and
forest as long ago as when the first
red man set foot in Florida, and the
fact that the deposit of earth above
them was sufficient TO give place to
the root of trees proved their great
age.
There have been found in all these
mounds pieces of pottery imbedded in
the shell conglomerate, as well as ar
ticles made of shell and bone. rude
stone implements and many bones OF
fish and animals. such as deer, terra
pin, rabbits, alligatOrs and others.
There are in the entire state about
forty mounds, the most important of
which are those of King Phillips town.
