The cemetery provides a sample of names which allowed for an in-depth analysis of the fishermen.

Show moreThe Seamen's Cemetery is a section of St. Joseph's Cemetery dedicated mostly to red snapper fishermen of Pensacola, Florida, and reflects aspects of those men. The cemetery provides a sample of names which allowed for an in-depth analysis of the fishermen. Organizations that contributed to the formation of the cemetery and the fishermen themselves are investigated through both historical documentation and the physical components of the cemetery. The Pensacola Fishermen's Benevolent Association, a fishermen's union, was the most active organization contributing to the cemetery. Working in the interests of the fishermen, actions of the union indicated that the fishermen particularly valued their income, reputation in society, and burials. During the course of this thesis, conservation efforts restored the cemetery closer to its original appearance. These conservation efforts allowed the author to explore how the cemetery expressed the values of the fishermen concerning burials of their comrades, specifically the values of having a body to bury and equality in remembrance. Furthermore, the fishermen of the cemetery were analyzed through personal documentation to understand their life, ethnic composition, and death of the red snapper fishermen of Pensacola.

- Ropa, herramientas, y armas: comparison of the material assemblages of 16th-century Spanish probate records to the artifact assemblages at the Luna Settlement site and the Emanuel Point I Shipwreck.
- Author
- Bleuel, Casey Elizabeth
- Abstract/Description
-
Probate records, documents including wills and estate inventories and auctions, are excellent tools for historical archaeologists who want to better understand the material possessions of past peoples. Probate and archaeological data are particularly amenable to comparison because they both quantify material culture. This thesis compares a sample of 76 16th-century Spanish probate records (both inventories and auctions) compiled in Spanish America to the archaeological assemblages of the 1559...
Show moreProbate records, documents including wills and estate inventories and auctions, are excellent tools for historical archaeologists who want to better understand the material possessions of past peoples. Probate and archaeological data are particularly amenable to comparison because they both quantify material culture. This thesis compares a sample of 76 16th-century Spanish probate records (both inventories and auctions) compiled in Spanish America to the archaeological assemblages of the 1559-1561 Luna Settlement site and Emanuel Point I (EPI) Shipwreck in Pensacola, Florida excavated by the University of West Florida. The probate records of a variety of Spanish individuals were chosen to reflect the types of people that would have inhabited the site including soldiers, sailors, carpenters, blacksmiths, doctors, artisans, women, etc. This work involves the transcription and translation of historical Spanish documents and the creation of a Probate Inventory Database and an artifact database. The primary goal is to demonstrate the utility of synthesizing material culture data from both the documentary and archaeological records as well as provide an analysis of the similarities and differences between these data sources using the Luna Site and EPI as case studies. An emphasis is made on the idea of "personal property" in 16th-century Spanish America. This project is a model for synthesizing quantitative data from documentary and archaeological sources.

- Abstract/Description

Populations from two historic cemeteries in Pensacola, Florida were researched, analyzed, and compared through the use of archival and site survey records in order to understand connections between causes of death, ages at death, and socioeconomic status (SES). A total of 1,267 individuals were analyzed within this research (404 from AME Zion and 863 from the Escambia County Poor Farm) to answer 1) how the socioeconomic status (SES) of a selection of a population connects to their eventual...
Show morePopulations from two historic cemeteries in Pensacola, Florida were researched, analyzed, and compared through the use of archival and site survey records in order to understand connections between causes of death, ages at death, and socioeconomic status (SES). A total of 1,267 individuals were analyzed within this research (404 from AME Zion and 863 from the Escambia County Poor Farm) to answer 1) how the socioeconomic status (SES) of a selection of a population connects to their eventual cause of death and age at death; and 2), how SES is or is not reflected in the burial practices evident through extant surface material at cemetery site(s). The goal of this research was to better understand how the life experiences of people in the past affected their representations in death. Initial analysis of the overall populations (AME Zion n=404; Poor Farm n=863) showed higher rates of infant deaths and males at the Poor Farm than was seen in the AME Zion Pre1970 population sample of all ages. For these full samples, susceptibility to the most frequent causes of death categories (Illness and Disease) were the same at each site. With these similar levels however, individuals at neither site were living substantially longer than the other even when individuals at the Poor Farm had a significantly average SES. Analysis of the cause of death and age at death analysis samples (AME Zion n=240; Poor Farm n=419) as well as analysis of the SES subsamples (AME Zion n=133; Poor Farm n=408) highlighted sex and SES differences between the sites where the Poor Farm had a higher frequency of males and higher wages, on average. Conclusions found no connection between SES and the existence or absence of extant surface materials at AME Zion or the Poor Farm but brought to light the possibility of other cultural factors such as church affiliations and burial associations.

- Abstract/Description

Microphytobenthos inhabiting subtidal estuarine sediments are important contributors to marine food webs and biogeochemical transformations of nutrients. Production and respiration rates, biomass estimations, and nutrient flux rates in Butcherpen Cove, Pensacola Bay, Florida, were investigated from February through August 2005 for the benthos, phytoplankton, and biofilms grown on artificial substrates. Extracellular enzyme activity was assayed on slurries of biofilm material. Production and...
Show moreMicrophytobenthos inhabiting subtidal estuarine sediments are important contributors to marine food webs and biogeochemical transformations of nutrients. Production and respiration rates, biomass estimations, and nutrient flux rates in Butcherpen Cove, Pensacola Bay, Florida, were investigated from February through August 2005 for the benthos, phytoplankton, and biofilms grown on artificial substrates. Extracellular enzyme activity was assayed on slurries of biofilm material. Production and respiration were measured by oxygen changes in light and dark incubations in situ. Microphytobenthic production and biomass decreased following major storm events. Water column phytoplankton and periphyton did not respond to rainfall and appeared to be controlled by temperature. Phytoplankton production and respiration increased through the sampling season and variability was low. Periphyton grown on artificial substrates did not correlate with benthic processes, but appeared to be responding to water column conditions. Bioavailability of water column nutrients did not seem to be as important to benthic production as much as benthic fluxes. The data suggest nitrogen and phosphorous nutrient co-limitations existed for both phytoplankton and benthic microalgae in Butcherpen Cove. When dissolved PO4-3 increased in the water column alkaline phosphatase activity was suppressed. Esterase activity of biofilms on artificial substrates reflected biofilm community respiration. N-fixation and denitrification rates were low and mutually exclusive.
