BUILT MANY CENTURIES AGO
FIOrIda's She'll Mounds Believed %
Date Back to Before Beginning
Of Christian Era.


FlOrida's shell mounds, which are
found in different portions Of the
state, are unquestionably Of human
construction, and were probably buiIt
by some race of people who inhabited
the country about the beginning Of the
Christian era. These mounds were
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
tieles 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,
near the outlet of Lake Harvey.
which are 45O feet long, from 100 to
$50 feet broad, and with an average
height Of eight feet.
