GIANT SKELETONS OF
TAMPA, Fla., July, 27. (/P)—Giant
Indians who roamed Florida swanps
500 years or moTe. living on shell
foods which they cracked with their
teeth, is a picture unfolded by ar
cheaologists who have delved into a
burial ground on a gulf island near
here.
The skeletons were discovered on
a small section of land, where a lone
fisherman has lived for years. Sci
entists estimated the bones are at
least 500 years old and are remains
of a tribe known as the Garibs, na
tives of the West Indies. They are
believed to have inhabited the state
and adjacent islands before the arri
val of Spaniards in Florida.
The skulls, larger than those of
current history, battered and crushed
indicated tribal battles. The jaw
and teeth are unusually large. Like
wise are the body bones, indicating
the Indians of past ages were verita
ble giants in comparison with those
of today.
Mounds similar to the one in which
the bones were unearthed are com
mon in the state.
The bones have been sent to the
Smithsonian Institution for further
examination.
