Helen Blazes archaeological site


The Helen Blazes archaeological site is an archaeological site near Lake Hell 'n Blazes in Brevard County, Florida, United States, which was excavated in the 1950s. Stone artifacts from Paleo-Indians, the Archaic period and later cultures were found at the site. The Paleo-Indian artifacts included numerous Suwannee points. Paleo-Indian and Archaic artifacts included tools made from chert, which is not found locally and had to be imported from at least away. The Paleo-Indian artifacts were found in the same kind of deposits as were similar artifacts in Melbourne and Vero Beach, both of which also yielded human and pleistocene animal fossils.
