Flower Lay |
| By John M. Taylor, Jr. - 2,420 Words |
| “When the roadbed was surveyed in the mid-twentieth century for the I-75 bypass around Tampa, Florida, at a site called Harney Flats, more than a thousand artifacts were recovered and cataloged. Most were estimated to be about 10,000-8,000 years old, shaped from native flint. Two rocks, however, of a type not indigenous to the area and shaped as axe heads, were found cached together. No pyrite was listed in the find. Perhaps this is how the two strange rocks came to Florida.” |
