Linked work for me with no sign in. I could enlarge the picture of the bead, but not the others.

"Artifacts do move ... without the presence of Spaniards," he said. Blanton cheerfully agrees. "We may never know" how they wound up in the dirt of South Georgia, he said.

Interesting - but absent any other evidence, I don't see how it proves anything about Spanish presence in that particular location - trade with natives surely might have led to beads and other easily portable items getting dispersed up the coast.......

Now a string of glass beads will be used to expand the La Raza claims to how all our land is theirs!!!!!!!!!!!

On that same slim basis, for “Hispanic” title to Georgia and “natural” “Hispanic” rights there, the French could dock boats on the Gulf of Mexico, along the Louisiana shore and tell that boats’ French-citizen-passengers to just go ahead and go ashore - they have a right to be here. Because the wars the Spanish lost to us (over their right to rule North of the Rio Grand,the treaties the French made with us, and our national sovereignty, are to mean nothing.

A spanish fort,or the foundation of, would be pretty good proof.Barring that I aint buying it.
