Master's thesis, Harvard Extension School. Citation Fleck, Michael. 2017. The Archeological History of the Sixteenth-Century French Fort Caroline in Northeast Florida. Summary: This study investigates the history and archaeology of the sixteenth-century French Fort Caroline in North Florida. In the last 150 plus years, all amateur and professional attempts to locate Fort Caroline have failed. Recent studies have reviewed the historical and archaeological attempts to locate Fort Caroline and have offered new theories on where it may be located. This study builds on these works by examining previously unexplored sites that offer possibilities that match primary source descriptions of the location of Fort Caroline’s founding. Selected contents: Primary source descriptions of Fort Caroline -- Ribault's first expedition 1562 -- Fort Caroline built 1564 -- Downfall of Fort Caroline 1565 -- Aftermath 1565 and 1568 -- Previous research on Fort Caroline -- Fort Caroline archeology project -- Conclusions on Fort Caroline's location -- Endnotes -- Bibliography. Tables:Timeline of Fort Caroline -- Analysis of Fort Caroline's location. List of figures: Map of the mouth of the St. Johns River -- Map with St. Jons River, Altahama River, St. Augustine and Charlefort -- Drawing of first-hand depiction of Fort Caroline. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:33813395 Collections.
