                            Focus of the talk is Joara, an ancestral Catawba town (known as "the Berry site") and the Spanish Fort San Juan in present-day North Carolina. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_San_Juan_(Joara)

                          Early stages of Spanish presence in North American southeast… Ponce de León in coastal Florida; Hernando de Soto in interior marches (w/ conscripted laborers) 1539-42

                        De Soto records include polity of "Xuala" | Chris Rodning: We believe this is the same as Joara in the 1560s.

                      Juan Pardo w/ 250 men traverses smaller area beginning in Santa Elena (later Parris Island, SC) and travels inland to establish Fort San Juan in 1567.

                    Pardo (now w/ 125 men) was under orders to establish Spanish colonial towns in an (implausibly long) arc to Zacatecas, Mexico, site of major silver mines. Spanish perhaps confused Appalachian and Rocky Mountains in proposing this.

                  This is Juan Pardo's 1566/1567 journey through Native American towns, establishing a series of forts along the way.

                In 1568, Native Americans attacked Fort San Juan and all of the other forts (dark orange in this map) established by Juan Pardo. A single Spanish soldier escaped to return to Santa Elena.

              Rodning: After this major setback, Spanish shift strategies towards missionization and trade.

            Rodning: Juan Pardo arrived and used a strategy of diplomacy and gift giving, asking for construction aid to house his soldiers. Apparently, indigenous communities saw gifts as signal of ongoing reciprocity, which would not continue.

          The Berry Site, a 4.9 hectare location with Native American artifacts and mound remnants, is the largest in its local region.

      Buildings excavated on site are the burned remnants of buildings that collapsed downwards. Believed to be houses built for Spaniards to live at Joara and contain Spanish artifacts.

    Excavations have uncovered the moat of the Spanish fort, built on the same design as fort at Santa Elena. A subsequent Native American structure intrudes in the lower left.

      Geophysical surveys add to the picture of the fort's layout… and show the fort displaced a major pre-existing Native American structure.

          Rodning: We aspire to have these events included in regional history, centering around Native American defeat of Spanish colonialism in North Carolina.

            Key next questions for Rodning: How did Native Americans incorporate Spanish colonists into their world? Longer perspective on culture change in the contact period.
