About

The Hutto/Martin site is an archaeological site located in Marion County, Florida, located near the Ocklawaha River. Excavations at the site by Dr. Willet A. Boyer, III between 2006 and 2012 have led archaeologists to believe that it is the location of both a past Native American town and Spanish mission, associated with the Timucuan chiefdom of Acuera described in early contact and mission-era Spanish accounts from the sixteenth and seventeenth century.
