Abstract
- This article presents a detailed study of crossbows recovered from the shipwrecks of Padre Island, Texas, dating to 1554. Traditional archaeological and historical analysis is enhanced by production of working replicas of the light Spanish-style crossbows. A possible maritime adaptation of the weapon is identified.
