Ancient Mounds Hidden on Florida Golf Courses
The discussion reveals how ancient burial mounds and ceremonial sites have been repurposed as features on Florida's numerous golf courses. Dr. Longo explains that builders used these naturally hilly areas because they were less profitable for traditional real estate. He also describes how the Army Corps of Engineers and private interests dismantled many mounds to use the shell material for building high-quality roads in the early 20th century.
