A variety of historic soda bottles were recovered during the 2013 archaeological monitoring of the Chassahowitzka Headspring Restoration Project. However, the only soda variety found to be bottled in the region was Coca-Cola.
W.T. Baxley of Hernando, Florida began bottling Coca-Cola as a sub-bottler in 1906. The empty bottles were washed in Hernando Lake, filled with Coca-Cola, and then transported using horse and wagon to Inverness. During World War I, Baxley moved his bottling operation to Inverness. The business and bottling building stayed in the Baxley family until 1979 when both building and business were purchased by Florida Coca-Cola. In 1983, Citrus County purchased the building from Coca-Cola
and dedicated the historic site (112 N. Apopka Avenue) in 2000.

A variety of prehistoric stone tools were recovered during the 2013 archaeological monitoring of the Chassahowitzka Headspring Restoration Project. Among these artifacts were projectile points, preforms, flakes, and cores. The oldest of the stone tools recovered was a Suwannee projectile point. Dating from the Paleoindian Period (10,000 – 8,000 BC), Suwannee points are
lanceolate in shape and measure between 7.5-12 cm on average. Although found across much of Florida, Suwannee points are most commonly found in the Ichetucknee and Santa Fe Rivers.

Pasco Plain pottery appears in the Woodland through Mississippian periods (AD 100-1500). One intact Pasco Plain bowl was recovered during the 2013 archaeological monitoring of the Chassahowitzka Headspring Restoration Project, and is the only
known fully intact Pasco Plain bowl to be recovered in Florida.
The Woodland period is characterized by a mixed subsistence pattern consisting of hunting, fishing, and collecting wild resources; while Mississippian period subsistence consisted largely of estuarine fish and shellfish. Artifacts from both
periods include pottery, stone tools, and bone tools.

In addition to pocket knives, iron sheers, a Genuine Ford Battery sign, and one lens from a pair of motorcycle goggle; the 2013 archaeological monitoring of the Chassahowitzka Headspring Restoration Project uncovered a mid-century Hubley Long Barrel Texan Jr. cap gun. This artifact represents a transition in toy gun manufacturing from pure cast-iron to die-cast cap guns. The Hubley Manufacturing Company was founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1894, and produced a variety of objects including cast iron toys, doorstops, and bookends. All Hubley toys were hand-painted and are considered valuable collectors’ items.

Did you know that Napoleon Bonaparte was linked to the invention of the Mason jar? In 1795, Bonaparte offered 12,000 francs to anyone who could invent a new way to preserve food for the French military and, in 1810, Nicolas Appert invented the predecessor to the Mason jar. The Mason jar was patented in 1858 by John Mason, and was quickly followed by rivals such as
Ball (1886) and Kerr (1903). Both Ball and Kerr jars were recovered during the 2013 archaeological monitoring of the Chassahowitzka Headspring Restoration Project.
