• 1MB94, Fort St. Louis de la Louisiane, or Old Mobile, the first French settlement established in 1702 and moved in 1711.
• Extensive archaeology has documented the presence of Apalachee, Mobile, Tome artifacts and likely occupation of the area alongside the French colonial settlement.
• This is likely the report where 1MB147 , which is within the boundary of 1MB94, is documented, although the site form does not include a report citation. This site is not in the ASSF mapper.
