The Louisiana Division of Archaeology invites you to take a look at its new
interactive web project about Los Adaes, a Spanish colonial site in what is
now western Louisiana.

The present-day Los Adaes State Historic Site is a National Historic
Landmark operated by the Louisiana Office of State Parks, where visitors can
explore the remains of a mission and a presidio.  Although the settlement
marked the eastern frontier of the Spanish Province of Texas, the presidio
served as the provincial capital for more than 40 years. Los Adaes also
represented a rare instance of  cooperation among three cultures: the
Spanish, the French, and the Caddo Indians. An interpretive visitor's center
is planned for the park, but currently, the online exhibit provides an
opportunity for those who want to learn about life at the site, as revealed
through history and archaeology. The interactive website presents
information in layers, allowing the user to determine the amount and level
of information received.
