For the final program in The Archaeology of Spanish La Florida series, the Florida Public Archaeology Network's Della Scott-Ireton will speak on Tristan de Luna's 1559 colonization attempt at present-day Pensacola and the archaeological investigation of his lost fleet. Ravaged by storms and privation, the ephemeral colony was abandoned and lost to time, known to historians only through a few letters and documents. No evidence of the colony had been discovered until 1992, when Florida archaeologists discovered the remains of one of Luna's sunken ships at the bottom of Pensacola Bay. This presentation will describe the Luna expedition and the archaeological research of Luna's shipwrecked fleet.
