Kind of a intellectual inquiry if you will. I have no plans to dig up any mounds etc. My question is since Florida has been occupied by Indians for thousands of years..shouldn't there be many many burial grounds? Only a few make the news.
The other question I have is about depth. A few years ago in Daytona Beach Florida apparently workmen were repairing a water pipe at "twenty feet" deep in the sand..and found an Indian.
Is it possible that many burial grounds have the remains as deep as twenty feet?

Just an interesting subject.

This phenomenon is not limited to native Americans. Basically human remains tend to lose their moral protections after about 250 years. After that, archaeologists have zero reservations about digging you up, taking pictures and stuffing you wherever. ACTUALLY because Native Americans are nearly the only people recognized to have a culture and traditions these days in the US. They have MUCH stronger moral protections than any other ordinary grave. If you think about it, that is really true.
in todays world, maybe but not 50-60 years ago.
 

If you look at paperwork for a cemetery plot it says it’s a 99 year lease. Remember that.
