7,200-Year Sea Grave
An amateur diver searching for prehistoric fossils off Florida’s Gulf Coast in 2016 discovered what researchers confirmed was an Indigenous cemetery more than 7,200 years old. The Manasota Key Offshore site, now about 6.4 meters underwater, contains remains of at least 11 people and 49 funerary objects; peat helped preserve the organic materials. Researchers believe it was once a freshwater pond on dry land, later submerged as sea levels rose.
