Archaeology Lecture, Displayed Magic

Location: Weedon Island Preserve 1800 Weedon Drive NE St. Petersburg, FL 33702
Description: Displayed Magic: The Archaeological Study of Religious Beliefs and Popular Magic via the Material Culture of Late Spanish Colonial Period Households in Florida.
The archaeological study of magic in New World colonial contexts is a young pursuit. This talk by Deborah R. Mullins, Uof F, Ph.D. candidate will explore material culture linked with religion, folk belief, and magic in everyday contexts using deposits from Creole households in late Spanish colonial St. Augustine, Florida. Manifestations of religious-magico traditions reflect the historical and on-going intersection of a European Catholicism with the dogmas and realities of diverse Creolized populations across the Spanish Empire. This presentation will examine the importance of magic and spirituality within these households and the struggle to archaeologically identify objects associated with these convictions. This program is sponsored inpart by the Central Gulf Coast Archaeological Society. Free. Registration is requested.
