It was only right after the bones had been declared really old and not a product of the mass murder that those 167 bodies discovered in the pond at Windover, Florida started to stir up enthusiasm in the global archeology. Researchers from the Florida State University approached to the site, reflecting some more bones of the Native American that had been uncovered in the swamplands. These had been guessing the bones had been about 500-600 years of age. But then those bones were dated as radiocarbon. It turned out that the corpses vary from 6,990 up to 8,120 years of age. It has been then that their academic community turned to be incredibly excited. This Windover Bog had proven to become one of the top significant archeological findings in the US and history of the world.
In the year 1982, the man who had the effort of finding, Steve Vanderjagt, was utilizing the backhoe to demuck the pond for the enhancement of the latest subdivision situated around halfway between Cape Canaveral and Disney World. Vanderjagt has been confused by the big number of stones in the pond since the place of Florida was not famous as being rocky. Getting out from his backhoe, Vanderjagt goes on to investigate and about immediately realized that Vanderjagt had uncovered the huge pile of skeletons. He named the authorities right away. Thanks to his inborn curiosity that the place was preserved. After those medical examiners state them as ancient, the experts from the Florida State University has been summoned (this is one more brilliant move made by Vanderjagt- too usual place is ruined since the examiners are not called). Being deeply intrigued, the developers of this site, the EKS Corporation, funded the radiocarbon dating. The moment striking dates were exposed and the Florida State provides the grant for an excavation.
