The Tequesta indians occupied the southeastern region of Florida from approximately 500 BCE (the late Archaic/Glades I period) through Spanish colonization and to the time when Spain turned Florida over to Britain (1763 AD).
Join us for a prehistoric look into South Florida with a focus on the Tequesta and the previous village site at the location of our new facility along the south bank of the Little River. Our excavation methodology will be explained as well as showcasing some archaeological finds and interpretive reconstructions from the dig so far!
