Check out this article about recent archaeological findings in downtown Miami.  The remains of a major prehistoric site were found.

Those familiar with downtown Miami are probably familiar with the Miami Circle, a perfect 42 foot diameter stone circle located near the new discoveries.  The Circle was uncovered during the construction of a large residential building, but was preserved when the landowner sold it.  It is now a park.

These cases are interesting.  They provide historic (and prehistoric) context to our everyday lives.  It will be interesting to see how the landscape of Miami will be interpreted in the coming years with the addition of this new discovery.
