South Florida archeologists are busy in Southwest Miami-Dade working to preserve ancient artifacts found in an area once inhabited by Tequesta Indians.

Robert Carr, Executive Director of the Archeological and Historical Conservancy, a nonprofit organization that specializes in preserving historically significant sites, told CBS4's Ileana Varela experts have known about the site for about three decades but the decision to excavate it and save the artifacts came when Miami-Dade County decided to widen the road next to the site.
