Connection & source
Historical Panzacola people connection in original scholarly researchDeRoche’s introduction explicitly places the historical Panzacola people around present-day Pensacola Bay in West Florida using seventeenth-century documentary accounts. His discussion distinguishes this people from the archaeological Pensacola culture; the test excavation did not establish a positive Panzacola site identification. Inspection: Actual university public download, valid-TLS HTTP 200, 2,675,875 bytes, 100 PDF pages including added cover. Cover/title; abstract printed p.viii / PDF p.9; introduction printed pp.1–3 / PDF pp.10–12; and printed p.8 / PDF p.17 were read as text/OCR. Not a complete thesis or excavation-data review. Limits: The canonical name Pensacola is retained; Panzacola is the historical people-label used by the thesis. The later city and archaeological culture are separate referents. No definitive excavated Panzacola village, coordinates, ethnicity-from-ceramics inference, contemporary recognition status or disappearance claim is adopted. This is an original student thesis with committee oversight, not a statement of consensus on every historical identification.
Seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, especially documentary accounts of the 1680s–1690s. Reviewed 2026-10-21.
