A leading authority on the archaeology of Florida tells the story of the state’s past as a Spanish colonyFlorida is the state with the oldest recorded history of European contact, beginning with the arrival of Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León more than five centuries ago—but many people don’t know the full story of Florida during this momentous time. Engagingly written and extensively illustrated, Early Spanish Florida delves into archaeological discoveries to uncover the 250-year history of Spanish colonization on the peninsula.Judith Bense, a lifelong archaeologist and expert on Spanish Florida, traces the story from 1513 when Ponce de León accidentally landed on “La Florida” to 1763 when Spain lost the land to Britain after the Seven Years’ War. Bense explores how the first Spanish settlers tried to colonize Florida with aims to take over the entire Southeast, encountering harsh weather, competing colonizing nations, and Native resistance. The story includes the establishment of St. Augustine in 1565, shipwrecks of early explorers and colonists, the building of Catholic missions in the 1600s, and the journeys of people of African descent escaping slavery on northern plantations.The events in Early Spanish Florida are told from the perspectives of the intertwined groups of people whose interactions created deep cultural changes, including Spanish, Indigenous, and African communities. Filled with maps and images of artifacts, excavations, historical sites, and original documents, and featuring suggested readings and places to visit, this book offers a wealth of knowledge and sparks enduring interest in Florida’s past.Funding for this publication was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

A landmark study of Spain's fortified settlements in West Florida from a lifelong specialist on the periodPresidios of Spanish West Florida provides the first comprehensive synthesis of historical and archaeological investigations conducted at the fortified settlements built by Spain in the Florida panhandle from 1698 to 1763. Combining intensive research by author Judith Bense, a lifelong specialist on the Spanish West Florida period, with a century's worth of additional data, this landmark study brings to light four presidio locations that have long been overshadowed by the presidio at St. Augustine to the east, revealing the rest of the story of early Spanish Florida.Bense details a history fraught with catastrophe—hurricanes, war against France and England, and treaties that forced the Spanish base in West Florida to be uprooted and rebuilt four times. Examining each presidio, including associated military outposts, shipwrecks, and refugee mission villages of the Apalachee and Yamasee Indians, this book provides four discrete, sequential windows into the Spanish presence in the region. Bense compares the population to that of Presidio San Agustin, established 133 years later, revealing very different communities, people, and local customs. Interwoven with these historical findings is an account of how the general public has participated in investigations in the region, providing readers with an understanding of eighteenth-century West Florida and the development of public archaeology in the state from the person who initiated and directed much of the research.
