The Windover Archeological Site is a Middle Archaic (6000 to 5000 BC) archaeological site and National Historic Landmark in Brevard County near Titusville, Florida, USA, on the central east coast of the state. Windover is a muck pond where skeletal remains of 168 individuals were found buried in the peat at the bottom of the pond. The skeletons were well preserved because of the characteristics of peat. In addition, remarkably well-preserved brain tissue has been recovered from many skulls from the site. DNA from the brain tissue has been sequenced. The collection of human skeletal remains and artifacts recovered from Windover Pond represent among the largest finds of each type from the Archaic Period. It is considered one of the most important archeological sites ever excavated.

another battle fought after the war was over.
Same thing happened at battle of New Orleans, large casualties too
There is an annual ceremony conducted on the Saturday closest to the 10th, conducted by the local chapters of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution.
There was a later naval battle at Cuddalore in India in June, 1783. But the fighting was indecisive and stopped when news of the Treaty of Paris finally reached India. The fighting, which also took place on land, involved troops and ships from Britain, France and the Indian state of Mysore, which was fighting alongside the US and France. No Americans took part in the battles.
