Abstract
Recent archaeological investigations in western North Carolina have revealed the presence of 16th-century artifacts in association with contemporaneous aboriginal occupation. This paper the available Spanish historical evidence regarding the various mechanisms by which items may have been disseminated among aboriginal populations in the deep interior . Possible sources include direct or indirect contact with the well-known Hernando de or Juan Pardo expeditions between 1540 and 1568, dispersal as a result of several minor entradas into the northern interior between 1597 and 1628, and ongoing long-distance trade aboriginal and Spanish populations along the Atlantic coastline.
