The Bog Bodies of Florida's Windover Pond- Floridian Health and Healing: 7,000 Years Ago

Presented By: Dr. Michelle Williams

This remarkable discovery allowed archaeologists to take a comprehensive look at life and health 7,000 years ago. Dr. William’s lecture will discuss potential medicinal plant usage among Native Floridians by comparing pathologies identified in the bodies recovered from Windover Pond with the potential medicinal plants associated with them.
