An archaeological survey was conducted of the Silver Springs State Park in Ocala, Florida, between August 2014 and December 2015. The project goals were to relocate and assess the previously recorded archaeological sites in the park and attempt to discover new sites. Background research, archaeological fieldwork including surface collection, shovel testing, and informant interview were conducted with this aim. Each site is described and addressed, and most were relocated; twelve new resources were added to the inventory. The Silver Springs and Silver River watershed have been occupied from the Paleo-Indian period at least 13,000 years ago through the twentieth century. Sites from each time period are discussed to detail how use of the landscape developed through time but still remained a persistently occupied place with important, albeit changing roles. Finally, management and research recommendations are provided to assist the state park staff and future archaeologists working in the area.

Após permanecer por cerca de dezessete anos no sul da América (1536 ¿ 1553), o soldado bávaro retornou à Europa, onde se converteu à fé protestante e escreveu sua Viaje al Río de la Plata. A partir de seu relato, pretendemos observar de que forma elementos como o canibalismo, também descritos por outros autores (como Jean de Léry e Hans Staden), influenciaram as narrativas de viajantes, em especial, em questões como a humanidade dos indígenas e as dúvidas referentes às possibilidades de escravização e conversão. Pretendemos ainda examinar de que forma essas descrições foram utilizadas como base para os mútuos ataques entre católicos e protestantes no período / Abstract: This research aims to analyze the New World inhabitants¿ discourses at the Ulrico Schmidl¿s chronicle. After approximately seventeen years at South America (1536 ¿ 1553), the Bavarian soldier has returned to Europe, where he has converted himself to the protestant faith and has written his Viaje al Río de la Plata. Based on his account we intend to observe how elements like cannibalism, also described by others authors (like Jean de Léry and Hans Staden), have influenced the travelers narratives, especially about humanity of Indigenous and doubts about the possibilities of his enslaver and conversion. We still intend to study how these descriptions were utilized in mutual attacks between Catholics and Protestants / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestre em História
