Conference paper
Rediscovering Pensacola’s lost Spanish missions
65th Annual Meeting of the Southeastern Archaeological Conference (Charlotte, North Carolina, 11/2008)

Abstract
In 1763, 108 Yamasee and Apalachee Indians accompanied the Spanish evacuees from Pensacola to a new home in Veracruz, and two years later just 47 survivors laid out a new town north of Veracruz called San Carlos de Chachalacas, electing dual mayors representing each ethnicity. These expatriates were the remants of two Pensacola-area missions that had been burned by Creek raids in 1761—San Antonio de Punta Rasa and San Joseph de Escambe. This paper will explore the origins and history of these missions, and the ongoing search for archaeological traces of their existence.
