Program Description

Event Details

Cattle, citrus, and many other common foods today were brought to Florida by the Spanish, so what were people eating before then? This talk covers what people would have had for dinner in SWFL 2,000 years ago. Topics of environment, flora and fauna, archaeological research, and historical documents all come together to answer this question.
