Review:
Indian Mound Park, also known as Paulsen Point, preserves the traditional home of the ancient Manasota indigenous culture, who occupied the region between 1000 B.C. and 1350 A.D. Throughout their tenure at the site, the Manasota were known for their ceremonial burial practices and ceramics making, which was crafted in the Englewood Plain style. During the 1960s, archaeological excavations throughout the Englewood region uncovered a plethora of Manasota artifacts, including quartz arrowheads and copper beads indicating trading with indigenous groups as far away as Georgia. Today, park visitors can view preserved ceremonial mounds and indigenous artifacts at the park, which is part of the Trail of Florida's Indian Heritage. The park also provides direct access to the shores of beautiful Lemon Bay.
