This chapter offers an introduction the volume. As such the authors define what a mission is in terms of a historical place and an archaeological site. They give a thorough overview of the archaeology of the Mission period and synthesize previous efforts in locating and documenting the Spanish Missions of La Florida. This overview spans the earliest years of mission archaeology, ca. 1950s to the most recent in the twenty-first century. The authors include a section on the mission effort by Spanish Catholic missionaries in La Florida and describe what we know about each mission site that has been documented archaeologically. The chapter concludes with an overview of current themes in Mission period archaeology and an overview of the contributed chapters.
