“Lunch Under the Oaks: Ancient Medicine in Florida” - Friday, November 11th at noon
Bring your lunch and enjoy a picnic under the oaks after a morning spent in the garden. Dr. Rachel Wentz will present: Ancient Medicine in Florida: Examining the Evidence for Medicine at the 7,000-year-old site of Windover”. For thousands of years, humans have been utilizing their natural environment for the purpose of treating the sick. This presentation will examine the evidence for medicine at the Windover site, an Archaic site from Florida that produced the well-preserved remains of 168 individuals. Weʼll explore the objects that accompanied them to the grave and the skeletons themselves for evidence that people were treating the sick and prolonging life in one of Floridaʼs ancient populations.
