Following reports of bones in other areas of America….this story reports that bone parts were recently found in Miami.http://cbs4.com/local/local_story_112210635.htmlThe bones are said to belong to the Tequesta (never heard of 'em before):
The Tequesta tribe, who met explorer Juan Ponce de Leon in 1513 when he claimed the land for Spain, were hunters and gatherers and lived in South Florida for 2,500 years before succumbing in the 18th century to Europeans and the diseases they brought with them.
It would be interesting to see how the Tequesta related to other tribes of the Southeast which survive to this day. This was quite an old tribe. Very unfortunate that they were wiped out after the arrival of the Europeans.
