Native Floridians repeatedly inhabited many of the same places. Areas of extensive wetlands, such as those south of Lake George on the St. Johns River between Lake and Volusia counties, were prime locales, providing food and other resources. It is no wonder people preferred them. The large Middle Archaic sites were villages where people lived for long intervals of time, perhaps generations. Some of these villages cover several acres and contain tens of thousands of stone artifacts. They are the first true villages in Florida.
Why that particular pond was chosen and why interments were made in the peat remain mysteries. Burials continued to be placed in the bottom of the pond on and off for more than ten centuries. C. Use of the pond for interments then halted, probably because wetter conditions made it too difficult. After the pond was abandoned by the Early Archaic people, two more layers of peat were deposited, effectively sealing the peat strata containing the human burials. Although interments were made over a 1,000-year period, the clustering of bodies suggests that burials actually were placed in the pond during five or six separate episodes, each of short duration.
