Image and comments : Here you see the recreation of a native hut on display at the archeological park. This kind of hut is known as a bohio. (For another image of a Timucuan bohio, see: => Fort Caroline #12.)
Humanities questions: (A) Taking into consideration what the geography and weather are like now, and assuming the weather and geography were roughly similar 500 years ago, tell what you think the life style was for the Timucuan people. (B) What how you think Ponce de León and his fellow explorers reacted to this life style and the people who were at home in these conditions. (C) Compare and contrast this architecture with the architecture at Machu Picchu.
