Abstract

to fit the cradle, as when Milanich introduces Santa Isabela de Utinahica on the Altamaha River as one of the Timucuan missions in existence in 163 3, then omits the town from the accompanying map because it lies within eastern Georgia. Historians may object that altar supplies for priests of the mass came in the form of allocations of wax, olive oil, and wine, not money, or that the 1763 maps produced to register Spanish land claims with the incoming British prove nothing more than the relative location of ranches long since abandoned. They may be disturbed by the hasty checking and copyediting, as revealed in occasional references without a citation or citations without a date and in a startling number of unruly accents and unconventional spellings. Weighed against the work's ultimate value, these will transform themselves into minor peculiarities. Milanich's mas- terpiece of historical archaeology will be consulted often and with gratitude.
