In \u003cem\u003eWater from Stone\u003c\/em\u003e,\r\n Jason O’Donoughue discusses the genesis of springs and their role as \r\nsites of habitation, burials, ritualized feasting, and monument building\r\n for Florida’s earliest peoples.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO’Donoughue moves \r\nbeyond a focus on the ecological roles of springs and the popular image \r\nof springs as timeless and pristine—approaches taken by many \r\narchaeologists and conservationists. Instead, he foregrounds the social \r\nand historical importance of springs and their ongoing use as gathering \r\nplaces that draw people for ritual purposes even today. This \r\narchaeological viewpoint creates a bridge between past and present, \r\nencouraging conservation efforts that focus on the intrinsic value of \r\nsprings as places of personal experience and social interaction with \r\ndeep historical significance. To save the springs, O’Donoughue argues, \r\nwe must recognize the relevance of the past to the problems Florida’s \r\nartesian springs face today.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA volume in the Florida Museum of Natural History: Ripley P.
