Recently, an ancient burial ground estimated to be 7,200 years old was discovered off Manasota Key. It is now under 20 feet of water, but experts say it originally was 10 feet above sea level. Natural sea-level rise since the last ice age is continuing, and human activities are not responsible for that.
