Abstract
Personal identity was fluid in the mission system of seventeenth-century Spanish Florida, given that the mission system formed a place where several cultures met and interacted. In order to study this formation of identity, specifically gender, social status, and age, statistical analyses were performed on grave goods from San Luis de Talimali, San Pedro y San Pablo de Patale, San Martín de Timucua, Santa Catalina de Guale on Amelia Island, Santa María on Amelia Island, and Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, a Spanish cemetery in St. Augustine. Based on my interpretation of this testing, I argue that, while social status and age have some statistical correlation to the funerary items interred with individuals in the missions of Spanish Florida, it is only possible with the data used and the analysis completed within to make a few associations between personal identity formation and grave goods. Therefore, it is not possible to make definitive statements in regards to the central question posed by this thesis.
