The purpose of this thesis is to understand the provenance of artifacts from the 1559 Trist n de Luna shipwrecks in Pensacola Bay through chemical characterization and historical research. In preparation for Luna's expedition, the Spanish gathered materials from throughout the New and Old Worlds for the colony. This cultural assemblage of goods was carried to Veracruz, Mexico, where it was loaded onto the ships and ultimately deposited in Pensacola Bay, Florida, when the ships wrecked. By...
Show moreThe purpose of this thesis is to understand the provenance of artifacts from the 1559 Trist n de Luna shipwrecks in Pensacola Bay through chemical characterization and historical research. In preparation for Luna's expedition, the Spanish gathered materials from throughout the New and Old Worlds for the colony. This cultural assemblage of goods was carried to Veracruz, Mexico, where it was loaded onto the ships and ultimately deposited in Pensacola Bay, Florida, when the ships wrecked. By employing neutron activation analysis (NAA), x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS), and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), it was possible to source some artifacts directly to Spain. Other artifacts were tested and identified as highly probable for a Mexican origin. Examination of these results also determined that the chosen scientific techniques are suitable for characterizing 454-year-old waterlogged artifacts.

- OVERWHELMED WITH POSSIBILITIES: INTERPRETING ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND OTHER HERITAGE RESOURCES IN URBAN AREAS.

The city of Pensacola, Florida, has been attempting to create a heritage tourism industry for half a century but has never achieved the same level of success of the other notable destinations that they were trying to emulate. This is, in part, due to a significant level of development in the historic district, much of which is now historic as well, combined with an impressively complex history concentrated in a relatively small area. If Pensacola, or any community in a similar situation, is...
Show moreThe city of Pensacola, Florida, has been attempting to create a heritage tourism industry for half a century but has never achieved the same level of success of the other notable destinations that they were trying to emulate. This is, in part, due to a significant level of development in the historic district, much of which is now historic as well, combined with an impressively complex history concentrated in a relatively small area. If Pensacola, or any community in a similar situation, is to develop an effective heritage tourism program, then a well-organized plan is needed. This paper presents a model, along with the most basic level of information required, for the development of an interpretive program in downtown Pensacola which aims to provide the best possible results for the community, the tourist, and the archaeological resources.

- Title
- SECRET EXCHANGE: ALTERNATIVE ECONOMIES OF PRESIDIOS SANTA MARIA DE GALVE AND ISLA DE SANTA ROSA.
- Author
- Roberts, Amanda Dawn, Clune, John J., Benchley, Elizabeth D., Worth, John E., University of West Florida
- Abstract/Description

Spain enacted strict trade regulations within its colonial territories. Regulations prohibited Spaniards from trading with non-Spanish individuals. Occupants of settlements were expected to exist off supplies from the Spanish formal economy. However, historical documents suggest that the erratic formal economy was inadequate and spurred individuals to participate in alternative exchange networks through open and clandestine contraband trade to support their economic interests.

Show moreSpain enacted strict trade regulations within its colonial territories. Regulations prohibited Spaniards from trading with non-Spanish individuals. Occupants of settlements were expected to exist off supplies from the Spanish formal economy. However, historical documents suggest that the erratic formal economy was inadequate and spurred individuals to participate in alternative exchange networks through open and clandestine contraband trade to support their economic interests. I used two data sets, historical documents and refuse pit features to evaluate alternative economies at Presidios Santa Maria de Galve and Isla de Santa Rosa. I applied an intra- and inter- site comparison to reveal economic decision making in relation to areas within the fort and outside of the fort walls. I used diversity and evenness statistics to determine variation in archaeological deposits. The results indicate differences in diversity according to areas within and outside the fort at Santa Maria and Santa Rosa. This thesis suggests that the physical space and architecture of the fort walls, to some extent, structured the alternative economy. I conclude that alternative economies substituted and complemented the formal economy of Spain.

- Title
- SPANISH FRONTIERS: A STUDY OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC EXCHANGE NETWORKS PRESENT IN 18TH CENTURY SPANISH MISSIONS.
- Author
- Dadiego, Danielle Lynn, Worth, John E., Clune, John J., Gougeon, Ramie A., University of West Florida
- Abstract/Description
-
During the 18th century, several Spanish missions survived in West Florida. The remnants of Mission San Joseph de Escambe, located in the modern community of Molino, Florida, along the Escambia River, was once home to Apalachee, Spanish militia, and a Franciscan missionary for a brief twenty years. The mission formed a nexus within an intricate and complex supply and exchange network that included the Upper Creek, Yamasee, Spanish, and French among others. A specialized economy formed from...
Show moreDuring the 18th century, several Spanish missions survived in West Florida. The remnants of Mission San Joseph de Escambe, located in the modern community of Molino, Florida, along the Escambia River, was once home to Apalachee, Spanish militia, and a Franciscan missionary for a brief twenty years. The mission formed a nexus within an intricate and complex supply and exchange network that included the Upper Creek, Yamasee, Spanish, and French among others. A specialized economy formed from these relationships and is the focus of this thesis. This local economy created a social and economic landscape that was vitally important to not only the Spanish empire, but also to Native Americans in the region. Handwritten and cartographic documents, and archaeological excavations comprise the bulk of the primary evidence that shows the structure and development of a local economy. Historical documentary evidence exists in two languages: English and Spanish. Archaeological evidence includes items related to trade and exchange like glass beads and European ceramics. The primary goal is to reconstruct a spatial network of social and economic exchange, especially addressing Escambe's role within that network.

- TRACING THE TRADE: A PROPOSED ARCHAEOLOGICAL MODEL FOR PANTON, LESLIE, AND COMPANY TRADE SITE TYPES IN SECOND SPANISH FLORIDA.

- Abstract/Description

This study addresses the role of the Panton, Leslie, and Company in trade and commerce during the Second Spanish occupation of the Florida region (1781-1821). This thesis analyses both primary and secondary documentary sources such as cargo lists and inventories combined with archaeological materials from the firm's headquarters, two of their trading posts, and several Native American sites that were within the fIrm's trade jurisdiction in order to create archaeological models for Panton,...
Show moreThis study addresses the role of the Panton, Leslie, and Company in trade and commerce during the Second Spanish occupation of the Florida region (1781-1821). This thesis analyses both primary and secondary documentary sources such as cargo lists and inventories combined with archaeological materials from the firm's headquarters, two of their trading posts, and several Native American sites that were within the fIrm's trade jurisdiction in order to create archaeological models for Panton, Leslie, and Company trade site types in second Spanish Florida. In addition, a trajectory of trade items is identifIed as trade goods are shipped from England to the firm's headquarters in Pensacola and then to the firm's strategically placed trading posts. A subset of the items reflecting Native American preferences in ceramics, containers, implements, and personal items then fmds its way to Native American sites.
