Conference paper
Functional and spatial patterning in artifact distribution at the Luna Settlement site
71st Annual Conference of the Florida Anthropological Society (Crystal River, Florida, 05/2019)
2019
Abstract
Since the 2015 discovery of the 1559-1561 Tristán de Luna settlement in Pensacola, the University of West Florida has conducted archaeological investigations of the site of this earliest multi-year European settlement in the continental United States. Based on a comprehensive shovel-test survey, three summer field schools, and multiple mitigation projects in this residential neighborhood, we continue to learn about this short-lived colony. This paper discusses ongoing analysis of the spatial distribution of artifacts across the Luna settlement, focusing on the relative proportions of various functional artifact categories as a means for understanding patterns of residence and activity within the settlement.
