Mounds, Middens, & Missions: A New Look at the Timucua
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Mandarin Community Club, 12447 Mandarin Road
Description: This lecture is part of the Mandarin Museum & Historical Society's Third Thursday lecture series.
Dr. Ashley will be lecturing on Timucua people, using his research from recent archaeological excavations by the University of North Florida to discuss the three time periods in Timucuan history. First, around AD 1000 when local natives were involved in far-reaching trade networks that brought exotic items of copper, stone, and other minerals to northeastern Florida. Second, the sixteenth century Mocama-speaking Timucua who encountered the French and Spanish in the 1560s. Third, life of the Timucua beneath the Spanish Mission bell in the 1600s.
