The 2015 UWF Luna Colony Location Claim: Seven Years Later … Still No Proof
In 2015 the University of West Florida (UWF) declared that they had discovered the site of the 1559 Luna Colony on Pensacola Bay. This proclamation was publicly extolled after only weeks of pedestrian surveys and shovel testing of a previously known archeological site located in East Pensacola Heights. The site was first reported in 1883 by the Smithsonian Institution as a Native village with two burial mounds.
