Archaeology dig in Chipley finding Native Artifacts

UWF is digging at the Falling Waters State Park in Chipley, and finding tons of artifacts. The head research person, John Phillips, is excited about the find because he feels the historical record in the inland section of NW Florida has been ignored. According to the article, he says

“The Piney Woods area of Florida needs a little bit of attention,” he said. “There’s a story to tell here.”

Boy that seems like the understatement of the year. ;)

They are trying to determine if they have found a cave painting. Anyone know the stories for the park? I never even knew about the Negro fort in Apalachicola National Forest until Susan took me there.
