Abstract
Using predictive GIS modeling and collections based research, this thesis determined if it is possible to identify Prohibition-Era deposits in the University of West Florida’s existing repository of archaeological collections. A model was developed to identify sites related to a broad range of past Pensacola residents in order to highlight possible differences in Prohibition-breaking behavior across various intersecting lines of sex, gender, race, religion, socioeconomic status, and more. Understanding the breaking of Prohibition as resistance highlights how various types of power were at play every time an illegal drink was poured in 1920s Pensacola.
