In Water from Stone, Jason O'Donoughue investigates the importance
of natural springs to ancient Floridians. Throughout their history,
Florida's springs have been gathering places for far-flung peoples.
O'Donoughue finds that springs began flowing several millennia
earlier than previously thought, serving as sites of habitation,
burials, ritualized feasting, and monument building for Florida's
earliest peoples. O'Donoughue moves beyond the focus on the
ecological roles of springs and the current popular image of
springs as timeless and pristine, approaches taken by many
archaeologists and conservationists. He argues for an
archaeological perspective that emphasizes the social and
historical importance of springs, explaining how this viewpoint
creates a bridge between past and present, enhances the intrinsic
value of springs, and is vital to the success of contemporary
conservation efforts.
