THE NATIVE VILLAGE THAT HID HERNANDO DE SOTO’S FIRST CAMP IN AMERICA
In 2021, students found the Spanish-made iron tool.
That discovery was important because it provided a direct clue linking the site to the sixteenth-century encounter.
It also demonstrated why archaeological field schools matter.
Students are not simply learning how to dig.
They are learning how to recognize patterns.
They are learning how to record evidence.
They are learning that an ordinary-looking piece of iron may matter enormously when it appears in the right context.
The story of Capachequi is therefore also a story about how archaeological knowledge is built across generations.
