Hybridized Ceramic Practice and Creolized Communities: the Apalachee After the Missions

Author(s): Michelle M Pigott

Year: 2018

Summary

After the violent collapse of Spain’s La Florida mission system in 1704, the Apalachee nation was disrupted by a diaspora that spread people across the Southeast, eventually to settle in small communities among other splintered nations. Navigating a complex cultural borderland created by constant Native American migrations and European power struggles, the displaced Apalachee experienced rapid culture change in the 18th century. Making use of ceramic data from four archaeological sites related to the 18th century Apalachee, their neighbors, and their Florida homeland, this paper examines how their ceramic practice hybridized, influenced by cultural history, and new social networks and geographic locations.
