Please note, The Palm Beach Museum of Natural History will not publish specific location information about archaeological sites. This is to ensure and protect the cultural heritage of South Florida. As such, some items published on this and the following pages may be censored to remove locality data. Also, this list may change as our researchers review every single box contained in this collection. Please check back for updates.
