Figurines are rare in the remains of Spanish Florida. Surprisingly, however, 141 fragments and 1 complete ceramic figurine were recovered at the last two of the four locations of the presidio in Spanish West Florida on Pensacola Bay. Throughout the presidio’s existence (1698–1763) the population was sent directly from the central Basin of Mexico, where figurines have a long history. The West Florida figurine assemblage and distribution is here described in detail and compared to those found at contemporaneous settlements and shipwrecks. An argument is made that figurines are likely associated with the 1740 shift in Spanish-colonial policy from almost exclusively male garrisons to military colonies with soldier-settler families. This demographic shift brought women and children to the presidios from central Mexico in increasing numbers starting in 1741, and the argument is made that they are the reason for the appearance of figurines.

西班牙佛罗里达遗迹中的雕像十分罕见。然而，令人惊讶的是，在西班牙西佛罗里达彭萨科拉湾要塞的四个地点中的最后两个地点发现了 141 个碎片和 1 个完整的陶瓷雕像。在普雷西迪奥存在期间（1698-1763 年），人口直接从墨西哥中部盆地送来，那里的雕像有着悠久的历史。这里详细描述了西佛罗里达州的雕像组合和分布，并与同时代的定居点和沉船中发现的雕像进行了比较。有人认为，雕像可能与 1740 年西班牙殖民政策的转变有关，从几乎完全由男性驻军转向拥有士兵定居家庭的军事殖民地。
