The Florida Museum of Natural History historical archaeology program has had active research projects ongoing in St. Augustine, Florida since 1973, and in Hispaniola since 1979. The sites and their collections have provided a continuum of Spanish colonial settlement in the circum-Caribbean region, spanning the period between the arrival of Columbus in 1492 and the end of Spanish dominion in 1821.
