We in Florida have our ancient sites and peoples too. (See http://prehistoricflorida.org/indigenous-peoples-of-florida/) The problem is that when a site is found, often it is either destroyed, covered up, or the articles taken in an effort to hide the discovery from archeologists. This is done to open the area for development. Sickening IMO.
During my teaching years, we would take the students to the Outdoor Classroom. One of the activities was to seine for sharks’ teeth. We found them in abundance and camels’ teeth. It always amazed me to think that sharks were that far in-land. I can’t explain the camels’ teeth.
Thanks Humal.

Born and grew up in Dallas TX. As a Boy Scout, we would hike from Camp Wisdom in SW Dallas to Mountain Creek Lake on the W edge of Dallas next to Grand Prairie. Our destination at the lake was called “Sharks Tooth”, and was a mound of dark dirt that we would dig into and find teeth. ...I still have one over an inch long that I found there over 60 years ago.
This area is around 300 miles NORTH of the Gulf of Mexico at Galveston TX, and is further evidence that the ocean waters once covered the land here in North Central Texas.
