This study traced metallic materials recovered from a number of 16th-century Spanish archaeological sites across the southeastern United States using handheld portable X-Ray fluorescence (pXRF) technology. Artifacts recovered from the Hernando de Soto winter encampment site (Martin site), and the Tristan de Luna colonization fleet shipwrecks (Emanuel Point shipwrecks), and European artifacts of unknown origin from Native American archaeological sites were tested using an Olympus Innov-X pXRF...
Show moreThis study traced metallic materials recovered from a number of 16th-century Spanish archaeological sites across the southeastern United States using handheld portable X-Ray fluorescence (pXRF) technology. Artifacts recovered from the Hernando de Soto winter encampment site (Martin site), and the Tristan de Luna colonization fleet shipwrecks (Emanuel Point shipwrecks), and European artifacts of unknown origin from Native American archaeological sites were tested using an Olympus Innov-X pXRF analyzer. Through the use of basic mathematical analysis, iron and copper alloy artifacts evaluated using standard deviation and Euclidean distance scoring techniques resulting in a basic chemical comparison. Findings were not able to conclusively tie particular artifacts to specific expeditions, but similarities in whole sample sets were found, leading to interesting conclusions and potential for further analysis.

Colono ware, low-fired earthenware in European form, has long presented a challenge to the archaeologist. The existing typology of colono ware has led to confusion and misunderstanding of these wares. Proposed here is a new, more consistent typology. Archaeological work at three Spanish presidios in Pensacola, Florida, recovered a number of fragments from colono ware and Mission Red Filmed ceramic vessels.

Show moreColono ware, low-fired earthenware in European form, has long presented a challenge to the archaeologist. The existing typology of colono ware has led to confusion and misunderstanding of these wares. Proposed here is a new, more consistent typology. Archaeological work at three Spanish presidios in Pensacola, Florida, recovered a number of fragments from colono ware and Mission Red Filmed ceramic vessels. The chronological and spatial separation of the three presidios afforded the opportunity to study how these ceramics and their usage changed through time. A study of these changes, along with the distribution of colono wares at two of the three presidios, has presented the opportunity to determine whether these ceramics can be used to answer questions about status and acculturation on the multi-ethnic Spanish colonial frontier.

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.

In order to test the hypotheses about the history of the Swingbridge wreck, the construction of the wreck was referenced to literature written on different types of ships. In Northwest Florida the history of ship types used on the Blackwater River during the nineteenth century and the history of the area were researched. The condition of the wreck was examined to conclude the type of destruction the ship received and whether or not it was intentional. To do this a team of students excavated...
Show moreIn order to test the hypotheses about the history of the Swingbridge wreck, the construction of the wreck was referenced to literature written on different types of ships. In Northwest Florida the history of ship types used on the Blackwater River during the nineteenth century and the history of the area were researched. The condition of the wreck was examined to conclude the type of destruction the ship received and whether or not it was intentional. To do this a team of students excavated the structure using traditional archaeological methods along with incorporating the direct survey method. Artifacts were collected and conserved in the University of West Florida's archaeology lab. The results from this research have shown that the vessel was most likely a schooner. The use history is undetermined based on the findings. The vessel does have burnt timbers which could suggest the incident from Lieutenant Colonel William K. Beard's raid in 1862 or an owner simply disposing of an abandoned ship.

Ethnohistoric interpretations of indigenous perspectives from the early colonial period remain a tenuous proposal for anthropologists. The limitedness of documents and their European authorship complicate the task considerably, and proposed arguments rely proportionately on researcher's skills of critical analysis. Yet the project of giving voice to the unrepresented and disenfranchised must supersede any hesitancy. Historic patterns are not without modern parallels; lessons to be learned...
Show moreEthnohistoric interpretations of indigenous perspectives from the early colonial period remain a tenuous proposal for anthropologists. The limitedness of documents and their European authorship complicate the task considerably, and proposed arguments rely proportionately on researcher's skills of critical analysis. Yet the project of giving voice to the unrepresented and disenfranchised must supersede any hesitancy. Historic patterns are not without modern parallels; lessons to be learned from the challenges faced by indigenous groups during the colonial period are too important to set aside for fear of scholarly criticisms. Answers provided by residents of St. Augustine to question nine of Governor Rebolledo's 1660 residencia [gubernatorial term investigation] provide a view of a dynamic event that changed the social landscape of Florida and contributed to the extinction of an indigenous culture group. The residencia reveals Governor Rebolledo's treatment of one individual, rather than the totality of the Timucuan leadership, as the impetus for the Timucuan rebellion of 1656. Contrasting markedly to other residencias, the report on Rebolledo's term evidences the passions, frustrations, and frailties that indelibly marked colonial interactions.

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.

Show moreThis research is focused on Spring Lake, a little known Second Spanish Period (1781-1821) sawmill. Archaeological fieldwork was conducted to learn more about the site and its historical use. A residential structure was identified during fieldwork. The resulting artifact assemblage was analyzed to learn more about how the residents of the sawmill lived, and more specifically who they were. Historical documentation was not located that directly referenced the residents of the sawmill. As a result, this research relied heavily on the archaeological results. A site signature for the household was constructed based on South's (1977) Carolina and Frontier Patterns. The results were compared to patterns developed for overseer and slave components of a similar site, Clear Creek. Without historical documentation to reinforce the archaeological evidence, it is difficult to determine the identities of the residents. Very few differences exist between the material lives of slaves, overseers, and other peoples of lower socioeconomic status. Through the analysis of historical documentation, archaeological results, and site patterns, the socioeconomic status of the sawmill inhabitants became more distinct. Available data support an interpretation of the individual(s) occupying the household being of lower class status.

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.

- SURVIVING SPANISH CONQUEST: YUCATEC MAYA SOCIAL AND CULTURAL PERSISTENCE.
- Author
- Thrasher, Christopher Adam, Stone, Erin W., Pursell, Matthew, Worth, John E., University of West Florida
- Abstract/Description
-
After decades of bloody conflict, the Spanish conquistadors eventually ripped away cultural and social independence from the Maya. Despite life under siege by Europeans, the Maya did manage to persist culturally and socially. Many have explained their survival geographically. Maya territory was not at the center of the Spanish Empire. Nor was the region a ready source for material wealth and natural resources. However, practical considerations do not adequately explain Maya persistence in the...
Show moreAfter decades of bloody conflict, the Spanish conquistadors eventually ripped away cultural and social independence from the Maya. Despite life under siege by Europeans, the Maya did manage to persist culturally and socially. Many have explained their survival geographically. Maya territory was not at the center of the Spanish Empire. Nor was the region a ready source for material wealth and natural resources. However, practical considerations do not adequately explain Maya persistence in the wake of contact with Europeans. This thesis highlights Maya social and cultural structures and how they contributed to Maya resilience. Thomas Sewell Jr.'s structural theory argued that "surface" structures germinate from "deep" structures. Maya cosmology acted as a "deep" structure in the manner suggested by Sewell. Classic Maya adaptations to rapid transformation during the Terminal Classic period provided opportunities for the Postclassic Maya to act as agents during and after Spanish conquest, reconfiguring their social and cultural structures to respond to new circumstances. These processes continued for centuries-the Lacandon Maya of Chiapas, Mexico continue to reproduce expressions of Maya social and cultural structures today. As a result, this group provides a productive case study in the analysis of cosmology as a deep structure.

- THE APALACHEE AFTER SAN LUIS: EXPLORING CULTURAL HYBRIDIZATION THROUGH CERAMIC PRACTICE.
- Author
- Pigott, Michelle Marie, Worth, John E., Melcher, Jennifer A., Gougeon, Ramie A., University of West Florida
- Abstract/Description
-
After the destruction of their homeland in 1704, the Southeastern Apalachee dispersed across the Southeast, with two communities eventually settling along the Central Gulf Coast within 50 miles of each other. Residing in a complex cultural borderland created by constant Native American migrations and European power struggles, the Apalachee experienced rapid culture change in the 18th century, as evidenced by their material remains at the archaeological sites of Mission San Joseph de Escambe...
Show moreAfter the destruction of their homeland in 1704, the Southeastern Apalachee dispersed across the Southeast, with two communities eventually settling along the Central Gulf Coast within 50 miles of each other. Residing in a complex cultural borderland created by constant Native American migrations and European power struggles, the Apalachee experienced rapid culture change in the 18th century, as evidenced by their material remains at the archaeological sites of Mission San Joseph de Escambe in Northwestern Florida and Blakeley Park in Southern Alabama. This thesis explores the nature of the cultural evolution the Apalachee experienced through a highly detailed ceramic analysis and includes a comparative analysis of both 18th century Apalachee settlements, as well as the sites of 17th century Apalachee Mission San Luis de Talimali and the late 18th century Creek village Fusihatchee. Making use of the theoretical perspectives of creolization, hybridity, and practice theory, it can be argued that 18th century Apalachee ceramics reflect a hybridized ceramic practice, influenced by cultural history, geographic location, and social networks.

This vessel was constructed in 1848 for the purpose of transporting people and goods between the towns around Lake Winnipesaukee. A thorough non-invasive survey of the wreck site resulted in the documentation of a previously undocumented wreck and a site plan detailing the vessel's current condition. Historical documentation was examined and research was done to reconstruct the life and operation of the vessel and to situate the Lady of the Lake in the broader landscape of New Hampshire. The growth of the tourism industry in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire is the main focus detailing how the Lady of the Lake played a role in the 19th century transportation and tourism industries of New Hampshire.

Show moreArcadia presents an example of the many non-agricultural antebellum slave contexts often overshadowed by plantation studies. This thesis asks how these anomalies are to be approached within the larger paradigm of African-American archaeology. From this follows an analysis of the Arcadia Mill Village focused on identity and material evidence of socioeconomic dynamics at the industrial complex. The author compares historical and archaeological data from two possible slave components at the site for functional similarities and differences. This is then considered alongside evidence from both plantation and non-traditional slave sites to determine what the most appropriate basis for material and theoretical comparison is. The author concludes that ethnic, occupational, and economic evidence points to the occupation of the Arcadia Mill Village by industrial slaves, while a higher level of economic freedom could indicate a domestic slave presence at the Simpson Lot cabin. The author recommends that archaeological analysis of non-plantation slave sites focus on the economic limitations experienced by their inhabitants as indicative of social dynamics and power structures. This not only reflects the capitalist world system's effect on labor group relations, but the impact of agency on the negotiation of socioeconomic influence independent of variables like race, status, or ethnicity.

Show moreThe majority of coastal archaeological research focuses on mainland coasts and large islands, creating a bias in the anthropological literature as small islands are seen as marginal areas for aboriginal subsistence and settlement. To fully understand the aboriginal economies, it is necessary to examine small islands with the same focus given to large islands. One area where it is possible to address this problem is on the coast of Georgia (USA). Long-term research on St. Catherines Island resulted in detailed subsistence and settlement models for the entire aboriginal occupation of the island. A systematic survey on Bull Island Hammock, a small marsh island to the west of St. Catherines Island, revealed over four thousand years of aboriginal activity. Results of this survey were then contextualized with the St. Catherines Island dataset and recent work on the small islands off Sapelo Island, Georgia. This study demonstrates that small islands played a changing role in the subsistence and settlement patterns of aboriginal populations and that archaeologists' current understanding of these models may be incomplete.

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.

A sample from the St. Michael's Cemetery database was selected and compared with census data for Pensacola from 1850 and 1880. The goal of this comparison was to discover any trends that might indicate the degree to which people immigrated or migrated to Pensacola for specific industries. The data suggests the presence of a correlation between immigration and migration from specific places and the growth of local industry that corresponds to economic and historical events.
