Abstract
The Old Christ Church site (8ES49B) is located in downtown Pensacola, Florida, where the landform has been occupied historically since the 1740s. Archaeological excavations at the site over the years revealed features reflecting the various occupations at the site (First Spanish, British, Second Spanish, and American). This analysis was designed to use historical and archaeological data to place the site within the chronology of Pensacola's 18th-century First Spanish presidios and determine the types of activities that occurred during the occupation. Comparative analysis that used samples of features from Presidios Santa Maria de Galve, Isla de Santa Rosa, and San Miguel de Panzacola focused on the origin of production for cultural materials as well as functional groups and subgroups. The results revealed a high-status residential area, enclosed in a compound that dated to the 1740s.
