An Historic Seminole Burial In A Hialeah Midden

Description:

Found were a few human bones - a femur and fourth metatarsal - and artifacts, typical of the personal belongings of an Indian. Considering the dating, evidence of deliberate destruction of grave goods, obvious shallow interment, profusion of beads, and the human bones, it is reasonable to presume that a mid-19th century Seminole burial is represented. Schematics. Bibliography.
