Location: Collier County Museum
Description: FPAN and Collier County Museum presents a fast and fun FREE archaeology lecture series:
Minute Mysteries: Weird and Wonderful Archaeology!
FPAN SW Outreach Coordinator Melissa Timo presents: The Curious Archaeology of Spanish Explorers in Florida.
We’ve all heard the tales: Leon’s ingenious discovery, Navaez’s tragic expedition, De Soto’s monumental trek towards across the southeast. We have old Spanish documents recounting their feats- but can their stories hold up to the archaeological facts? Come and learn about what previous field work has told us about the first Spanish visitors to Florida and how current, cutting edge archaeology is changing the story. Program will begin at 2 p.m. For more information, please call (239) 252-8476.
FPAN is co-hosting this event.
