This Just In: Stone Tools Found at Piper-Fuller Airfield, Azaleaville

An article in Florida Anthropologist (vol. 26, no. 3, September 1973), reports that stone tools were unearthed in 1964 at Piper-Fuller Airfield and Azaleaville just north of the Science Center on 22nd Avenue. 

The article describes the tools as a knife and chisel, but does not speculate on the origin. It's reasonable to infer that the tools were made by the Tocobaga natives, known to have used a spear-like weapon called an atlatl (at-lot-tull) while hunting in the Jungle neighborhood around 900-1700 A.D. Figures 1 and 2 (see full-sized image in the article) could be from a digging tool called an adz.
