Bones Found in Gulf County Came From Indian Burial Site

After finding human bones in Lake Wimico earlier this month, experts have now officially determined the items discovered are part of an Indian burial ground.

An archaeologist studied the site last week and made the determination after a family discovered the bones, pottery and other items on the lake's shores in Gulf County north of Port St. Joe.

Sheriff Joe Nugent says because it's a burial ground, there won't be any excavation.

Archaeologist crews did find more bones and pieces of pottery they believe are also Indian remains. They will be turned into the proper Indian authorities.
