Abstract
Archaeologists in South Florida have uncovered Spanish items from 16th- and early- 17th-century Calusa sites. Certainly, many of these are the material remains of official trade networks between Spaniards and indigenous peoples, but archaeological evidence suggests that the Calusa also acquired Spanish goods by salvaging shipwrecks. Colonial documents likewise indicate that shipwreck salvage was prevalent along the Florida coast. This project examines historical and archaeological evidence in conjunction with an original model in order to examine the influence of the Spanish maritime activity on an indigenous population in colonial-era Florida.
