International Archaeology Day Fair and Lecture

Time: 10:00 am til 3:00 pm

Location: Beaches Museum and History Park

Description: Between the pull of trade with towns like Charleston and St. Augustine and the push of slaving and European land encroachments, Native Americans in the Colonial Southeast moved frequently and often over long distances. As a result, many localities became home to plural communities as diverse Native American groups grouped together for defense and mutual support. This process, often referred to by archaeologists as “coalescence,” led to completely new political and economic arrangements between Native Americans in the Southeast, and between Native Americans and Colonial powers. This presentation will compare patterns of coalescence on the frontiers of Spanish Florida and of English Carolina, focusing on recent archaeological research in both of the regions.

Presented by Charles R. Cobb, Florida Museum of Natural History
