This page compiles information and sources behind many of the maps I post on wikimedia.

Timucua

[edit]

Eastern Utina

[edit]
  • Coya - A freshwater village possibly located at the confluence of Etonia Creek and the St. Johns river.[1]
  • Edelano - A Timucua village closely associated with Enecape. Located on an island in the St Johns river, likely Murphy's island.[1]
  • Enecape - An Eastern Utina settlement and mission site located at the Mount Royal site on Lake George.[1]
  • Tocoy - An Eastern Utina settlement, mission site, and chiefdom capital located on the eastern bank of the St. Johns River immediately West of St. Augustine.[2]
  • Utina - The capital of the "Utina" chiefdom (Utina just means "lord", this was almost certainly not the town or polity's name). Located near the headwaters of Etonia Creek.[2]

Acuera

[edit]
  • Acuera - The capital of the namesake chiefdom, likely located at the Hutto/Martin site near Moss Bluff on the Ocklawaha river.[3]
  • Abino - An Acuera settlement and mission site possibly located at the Conner Landing site in, slightly northeast of Ocala on the Ocklawaha river.[3]
  • Tucura - A settlement in close proximity to Abino, possibly associated with the Tucururu dialect of Timucua.[3]

Mocama

[edit]
  • Alimacani - A Mocama village allied with Saturiba located on Fort George Island at the mouth of the St Johns River. The settlement was later the site of the Spanish Mission of San Juan del Puerto in the 17th century.[4]
  • Atuluteca - A settlement and the site of a Mocama mission located on the northern end of Cumberland island.[5]
  • Casti - A settlement allied with Saturiba. Milanich places it on the Florida Coast between Jacksoville and St. Augustine, but it may have also been on the St. Johns river.[1]
  • Guadalquini - A Mocama village and chiefdom located on the southern Georgia coast. Although the settlement has been identified with a 17th century Spanish mission on southern St. Simons Island, leading Mocama archaeologist Keith Ashley asserts the pre-columbian village was located further south, likely on Jekyll’s island.[6]
  • Napuica - A Mocama settlement and possibly the site of Santa Maria de la Sena, located on modern day Amelia island.[7]
  • Palica - A village on the Mantazas river ~10 miles south of St. Augustine. Implied by Spanish sources as being ethnically and politically affiliated with the Mocama.[8]
  • Puturiba - A Mocama village and the site of a small mission located at the Brickland Bluff site on the northern end of Cumberland Island.[7]
  • Sarabay - A Mocama village allied with the Saturiba in the 16th century, identified as the Armellino site on Big Talbot Island, near modern Jacksonville, Florida.[9]
  • Saturiba - An important Mocama chiefdom and village located on the southern bank of the mouth of the St Johns River.[4] Linguistic analysis suggests that Saturiba was a personal name (handsome-burning-chief), not the actual name of the village.
  • Seloy - A Timucua village associated with the Mocama or Agua Salada (which may or may not be synonymous with the former) people. Located at the site of modern St. Augustine.[10]
  • Soloy - A Mocama village (distinct from Seloy) located on the Florida coast ~5 miles north of St. Augustine.[8]
  • Tacatacuru - A major Mocama village and the center of Mocama power in the 17th century. The site was located on the southern tip of Cumberland Island at an archaeological complex called Dungeness Wharf.[11]

Sites whose general locations cannot be identified include Omoloa, Malica, Helicopile, Haipaha, and Athore which lay in the vicinity of Saturiba, and Tocoaya, Ayacamale, Chinica, Bejessi, Aratabo, Socochuno, and Olatayco in the vicinity of Tacatacuru.
