Abstract
Archaeological investigation of domestic adaptation at the 16th-century Spanish colony of Puerto Real is discussed. The results are compared to data from similar sites in St. Augustine, Florida. It is suggested that economic and environmental factors were prime movers in influencing the adaptive strategies revealed at the respective sites.
