The Corsiglia Collection

Local Ocala Native American Projectile Points and Pottery

This collection was found about 0.70 miles southwest of this museum along the then dirt roads from 1960 thru 1963 by local resident Robin Corsiglia.  He has loaned them to the museum for all to see & enjoy.  These artifacts were found on the surface of the dirt roads  after the roads were graded and then aftera hard rain.  The approximate location of most of these artifacts is shown on the satellite view map.  Mr. Corsiglia helped rebuild this museum back in 2011 and has helped find many of the artifacts displayed throughout this museum.

Robin 50 years later after retiring started volunteering digging with an Archaeologist:
