From dust jacket: The early people who inhabited Florida -- from about 12,000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age until the first Europeans set foot in the state in the 1500s -- developed diverse, hardy, and complex societies. Dramatic archaeological advances in methods of excavation, preservation, and analysis are bringing to light a wealth of new information about these people and their lifestyles. Florida's First People uses the fascinating discoveries at five archaeological sites around the state to illustrate the major culture periods of Florida prehistory. This book features a photographic atlas of Florida projectile points and pottery types as well as pictures of typical plant and animal remains that are uncovered at Florida archaeologic sites. Suggestions for how to participate in archaeological discovery without damaging sites or artifacts are also included. To give substance to bare facts, the author set out to learn firsthand some of the skills that primitive people developed in order to survive.

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - There were people living all over Florida for twelve thousand years before Columbus got here. Before hardware stores and shopping malls, these people managed to get food, make clothing, and cook their meals. In The Crafts of Florida's First People, Robin Brown asks, How did they do it And to answer his question, he actually learns to do things the way they did. Using materials that you can find in Florida today, you can learn with him how to throw spears and darts, make pottery, weave cloth, mix paint, build traps, and even how to start a fire without matches-just the way Florida's first people did it for thousands of years. Each chapter has easy-to-follow, fully illustrated directions. Even if you dont have the natural supplies available in your area, the book includes suggestions for alternative materials so you can still learn their crafts. As you work, you will experience some of the daily life of the ancient peoples of Florida. You will find out not only how to make a spear, but what its construction tells us about how the first people hunted and what animals they ate. The last true Florida native died 200 years ago, but you can help keep their culture alive.
