Windover Archaeological Site, Archaeological burial site in Titusville, Florida, US
The site contains skeletal remains of 168 individuals buried in peat at the bottom of a pond, with preserved brain tissue from 91 skulls.
Discovered in 1982 during construction work, the site dates back to 8,000 BC and contains evidence of early human settlements predating Egyptian pyramids.
The recovered artifacts include 86 pieces of woven fabric, tools, projectile points, and evidence of dietary practices from ancient hunter-gatherer communities.
The Brevard Museum of History and Natural Science displays exhibits about the archaeological findings and provides information about the ancient inhabitants.
DNA analysis of preserved brain tissue indicates genetic connections to ancient Asian populations, different from current Native American groups.
