Quick Facts

History & Context

Places To Visit: Warm Mineral Springs: One of the most spectacular underwater archaeology sites in the world has been found here. Deep inside the spring caverns, fossils have been found dating over 20,000 years. Remains of village life dating back 10,000 years have been the most important find found inside Warm Mineral Springs. During the time when the planet was cooler, more ice around the north and south poles created a lower water level than where the oceans are today. Because of the lower water level, what today is an underwater cave was back then a dry cave, good for a village site. Water around Florida is the best medium to protect archaeology finds. Unfortunately, state funding cuts put an end to the archaeology excavations in 1992. The spring is in danger of not being protected for the future.
