Indian Burial Ground- Fountain of Youth Park, St. Augustine, Florida

This old postcard that would likely not be marketable now, says

"On April 13th, 1934, while preparing to set out full grown orange trees, workmen came in contact with human bones.  The Smithsonian Institute at Washington was immediately notified.  They sent Dr. M. W. Sterling head of the Department of Ethnology, under whose supervision the excavations were made.  In his report he states that in his opinion these skeletons were part of an ancient Burial Ground, made during the early mission and military period of the Spanish regime, which dates after St. Augustine was established in 1565.

There are over one hundred skeletons exposed in the exact position as they were found, housed in an appropriate building of Indian Communal design."

These skeletons are no longer on display.
