Building a Case for a Council House at the Mocama Town of Sarabay
The University of North Florida (UNF) recently completed 4 years of excavation in the presumed center of the 16th century Mocama (Timucua) town of Sarabay, located on a barrier island near Jacksonville. Unearthed within one of the large excavation blocks were the remains of a large Indigenous post-in-the-ground building, measuring about 20 meters in diameter. Native and Spanish artifacts from the block, including items depicting religious imagery, date the structure to ca. 1580-1620s. This presentation provides an overview of our excavations at Sarabay and builds a case for the building being the community council house.
