The De Soto Apalachee Project
In the spring of 1540, the expedition of Hernando De Soto left its Florida encampment in the occupied Apalachee village of Anhaica in search of New World gold. Four centuries later, construction workers discovered Spanish artifacts in downtown Tallahassee, Florida. What is now the Governor Martin site appears to be one of the very few places which document De Soto's ill-fated expedition. The site serves as a geographic and chronological point of reference for the Spanish entrada and also serves as a focal point for the study of the effects of cross-cultural contact. By Charles R.
