Interpreting Spanish artifact assemblages in the Mid-Sixteenth-Century Southeast: The view from the 1559-1561 Tristán de Luna settlement on Pensacola Bay
73rd Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Archaeological Conference (Athens, GA, 10/2016)
2016
Abstract
Sixteenth-century Spanish artifacts are uncommon but widespread finds in the Southeastern United States, and documented assemblages have been variously used by archaeologists either as secondary indicators of the presence of passing Spanish explorers, or also as evidence of direct or indirect Spanish trade. The vast majority of such artifacts are found as grave goods within Native American villages or burial sites, apart from a handful of well-documented Spanish colonial settlements and encampments. Archaeological investigations at the recently-discovered 1559-1561 Tristán de Luna settlement provide a remarkable opportunity to examine a substantial though short-lived residential Spanish assemblage dating to this same era.
