The arrival of Spanish missionaries on the Georgia and Florida coasts in the mid-16th century began what is known as the Mission period (1568-1684), a time of sustained interaction between the Spanish and many coastal Indian polities. At the time of Spanish contact, much of the central and northern Georgia coast was occupied by Muskogean-speaking people known as the Guale (Worth 2004a). Sapelo Island, one of the Georgia "barrier" islands, is the site of at least one Spanish mission, the...

In 2004, University of Kentucky archaeologists started a new research project designed to assess the nature, intensity, and extent of Mission period activity in and around Shell Ring II in the northern portion of the Sapelo Shell Ring complex (9Mc23) (Jefferies and Thompson 2005) (Figure 3). We have employed a diversified data recovery strategy incorporating geophysical survey, shovel probing, soil auguring, metal detector survey, and test unit excavation (Jefferies and Moore 2009).

Numerous artifact-filled features surrounded the foundations of two homes and had the potential for providing a large amount of information about the lives...

This building served as housing for many of the town's indigent population, and its inexpensive rooms and sparse surroundings were much better than life on the streets. Advocates wanted to know what was to become of these people. At first, the preservationists failed. The...
