A sea turtle bone protruded from the wall of an archaeological
excavation at the Pineland Site Complex on Pine Island. That bone, along
with other evidence found in the pit, might prove that an intense
hurricane pounded the island 1,700 years ago, said University of Florida
graduate student Melissa Ayvaz, who is conducting the excavation. "We
have evidence from one portion of the site that most likely a storm
happened, but we don't know the extent of it," Ayvaz said. "My work is
to characterize the extent of the storm and determine if it was one
event or multiple events."
