"In some ways it's a bother, but if you take a little broader picture, you have to realize that it's potentially folks like these who will be out there digging septic tanks and putting sewer lines in," Doran said.

"The more aware people are of the very, very rich Florida prehistoric heritage, the more likely they are to take the time and the effort to get in touch with an archaeologist and say 'Hey, I found something or 'I heard about somebody who found he said. "There's no way even the best archaeologist in the world could have seen this site without the back-hoe coming in and actually discovering it," Doran said. FSU (Florida State University). That's my university out there digging," said Ted Weber of Orlando. "I would have felt very badly if I hadn't had a chance to see it." "It's neat.

It makes me think," said Jenny Roberts, 9, of Port St. John. "You think those ancient Egyptian things were old? These people didn't have any mummies. It's exciting. I've never seen anything like it before." Carr noted visitors were not allowed to handle bones.

"We try and tell them that we are trying to deal with all this stuff in a dignified manner," Carr said. "We tell them more about the environment and how people interacted with the environment than anything else." "Every single thing is significant, from the pollen to the leaves to the beetles to the human bones, because really we are doing an environmental reconstruction of the past 10,000 years," she added. The excavation has yielded hundreds of human bones, tools made from animal bones and well-preserved human brains with intact DNA, an essential component of all living matter that contains the genetic code to determine heredity. After the crews are gone, a pump that has kept the bog drained will be removed, and water will fill the pit to preserve the remaining artifacts. "We know there is more there.

We never want to remove everything. We want to leave it. It's sort of a nice feeling to know that at least half of it is still there," Carr said. "People can come back in the future, if they ever need to, and continue where we left off." Visitors who braved chilly temperatures had to wait more than an hour to receive a unique education in field archaeology and life in Florida about 6,000 B.C.

Bobby Brantley. Although Mixson was approaching his three days in office with a light heart, he knew he could be drawn into crisis at any time. "Even though it's a short period of time, somebody has got to be at the controls, and this is my watch. It's brief, but I am at the controls and I take it seriously," he said. As Mixson's administration ticked by, he had all the benefits and trappings of a governor.

Since Saturday, he could be seen riding in a car driven by a state bodyguard and bearing the license plate "Gov 1" Also, close at his heels was a state photographer, seizing every chance to record Mixson's administration before it flashed away. Mixson planned no inaugural ball, but friends and supporters donated about $15,000 to cover other expenses, said spokesman Chris Harris. President Reagan phoned his congratulations to Mixson late Saturday afternoon while he was watching football at the governor's mansion, said spokesman Steve Liner. In 1985, Mixson represented Florida at Reagan's second inauguration and met the president when he was still governor of California, said Liner. Palm Beach.

TALLAHASSEE (AP) Gov. Wayne Mixson settled down to business Sunday, his second day as Florida's chief executive, by going to church, lunching with his family and preparing to leave office on Tuesday. As the state's 39th governor, Mixson will hold office for less time than any other governor in Florida's 141 years of statehood. He was elevated from his lieutenant governor's post at 11:54 a.m. Saturday to fill a leadership gap opened by Gov.

Bob Graham's move to the U.S. Senate. Democrat Mixson will step down at noon Tuesday when Republican Bob Martinez takes office as Florida's 40th governor. Mixson, 64, started work Sunday by appointing Mel Rea Maguire to secretary of the Department of Commerce, a post Mixson held for the last four years as lieutenant to Graham. He also reappointed dozens of agency heads to keep their jobs at least until Tuesday when Martinez takes over.

"I was excited yesterday with all the ceremonies, with all the people," Mixson said outside St. Paul's United Methodist Church, where he and wife Margie have been attending services for more than 20 years. After lunch, he planned to visit residents of a subsidized housing project for older citizens in Tallahassee and then host a cookout for his inaugural committee and staff at the governor's mansion.
