Description

In 1949, tantalizing discoveries of Spanish and Indian artifacts in the waters of Fig Springs (located in North Florida) hinted at the location of an early 17th-century mission site. 40 years later, archaeologists returned to the area to search out and excavate the mission. Weisman's account of this search is an adventure in field archaeology and discovery, and he provides a detailed description of an aboriginal habitation associated with an early Spanish mission. While many mission sites have been excavated in the colonial capital of St Augustine and in the populous Apalachee Province near present-day Tallahassee, few detailed excavations have been carried out in the Indian province of Timucua, an early setting for the Franciscan effort to bring Christianity to Florida's native peoples. Still fewer excavations have concentrated on the village areas of the mission community. The dig at Fig Springs has revealed remarkably intact remains of several mission buildings as well as thousands of artifacts in and around the buildings found as they were left when the mission was abandoned in the mid-17th century. Most important, Weisman shows, the artifacts, architecture, and community plan from this site demonstrate how mission culture evolved well beyond the religious dimension and combined traits of both European and aboriginal cultures. The well-preserved artifacts of activities such as cooking, tool making, house building, and trash disposal represent a tremendous archaeological resource for understanding the aboriginal experience of mission life - an experience not often mentioned in contemporary documentary sources. The richness of the site augments the traditional focus of research into the Florida mission period and helps to provide a more complete picture of the mission community as a whole.
