Summary

Description
English: The Mocama were a Timucua speaking people that lived on the Atlantic coast of Northern Florida and Southern Georgia.

Alimacani - A Mocama village allied with Saturiba located on Fort George Island at the mouth of the St Johns River. The settlement was later the site of the Spanish Mission of San Juan del Puerto in the 17th century.

Robert L. Thunen, “Warfare at the Edge and Potential Implications for Mocama Archaeology,” The Florida Anthropologist 73, no. 3 (2020): 212–23.


Atuluteca - A settlement and the site of a Mocama mission located on the northern end of Cumberland island.

Elliot Hampton Blair, “Making Mission Communities: Population Aggregation, Social Networks, and Communities of Practice at 17th Century Mission Santa Catalina de Guale” (2015): 1.


Casti - A settlement allied with Saturiba. Milanich places it on the Florida Coast between Jacksoville and St. Augustine, but it may have also been on the St. Johns river.

Jerald T. Milanich, The Timucua (1996; repr., Blackwell Publushers Inc., 1999), 49.


Guadalquini - A Mocama village and chiefdom located on the southern Georgia coast. Although the settlement has been identified with a 17th century Spanish mission on southern St. Simons Island, leading Mocama archaeologist Keith Ashley asserts the pre-columbian village was located further south, likely on Jekyll’s island.

Puturiba - A Mocama village and the site of a small mission located on the northern end of Cumberland Island, possibly at an archaeological site known as Brickhill Bluff.

Sarabai - A Mocama village allied with the Saturiba in the 16th century, identified as the Armellino Archaeological Site on Big Talbot Island, near modern Jacksonville, Florida.

Keith Ashley, “Excavations at the Armellino Site (8DU631): The Proposed Mocama Village and Visita of Sarabay,” The Florida Anthropologist 69, no. 1 (2016): 49–79.


Saturiba - An important Mocama chiefdom and village located on the southern bank of the mouth of the St Johns River.

Seloy - A Timucua village associated with the Mocama or Agua Salada (which may or may not be synonymous with the former) people. Located at the site of modern St. Augustine.

Hale G. Smith and Mark Gottlob, “Spanish-Indian Relationships: Synoptic History and Archeological Evidence, 1500-1763,” in Tacachale: Essays on the Indians of Florida and Southeastern Georgia during the Historic Period (Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 1978), 1–18.


Tacatacuru - A major Mocama village and the center of Mocama power in the 17th century. The site was located on the southern tip of Cumberland Island at an archaeological complex called Dungeness Wharf.

Jerald Milanich, “Tacatacuru and the San Pedro de Mocamo Mission,” Florida Historical Quarterly 50, no. 3 (2021): 283–91.


Atore, Emoloa, Malica, Patica - These Timucua villages were allies of Saturiba and were located upstream and west of Saturiwa itself, between the mouth of the St Johns River and modern day Palatka.
