Ben,
With the potential discrepancy in site occupation and coin date, is it
possible that the coins were recirculated? I recall a similar situation
in Michigan with 16th century French coins appearing on a late 17th
century mission site (see references below). You may want to contact
Russ Skowronek on these coins as well. His email is [log in to unmask]
- he has significant experience with Spanish sites in the Southeast as
well as California.
