| FLORIDA ARCHAEOLOGY Illustrated Overview (7160 words) |
 | Archaeology is the study of the human past by analysis of the material remains. |
| Perhaps the most notable development in Florida archaeology in recent years is the dramatic growth of contract archaeology, which is the result of a host of federal, state, and local laws and ordinances designed to minimize or avoid the loss of archaeological knowledge due to construction or land development. |
| From 1980 to 1989 archaeological investigations were conducted at Hontoon Island, where thousands of excavated artifacts, flora, and fauna wove a story of a way of life that existed there from about AD 500 to AD 1600. |
