These pages are just a beginning. You should not feel content that you know enough about Sarasota's history or archaeology. You should not even feel creeped-out enough. You are dying to know more (pun!!). I have listed a few websites and books that will get you into Sarasota's history and archaeology, and about historic archaeology in general.
