Comparative Commensality and the Colonial Consumption of Indigenous Serving Vessels in Early Spanish Florida (2025)
Diverse approaches to commensality influenced the local production and colonial consumption of Indigenous serving vessels. In the Southeast U.S., analysis of vessel form and function indicates that Indigenous commensality tended toward communal-style eating. Those practices contrasted with the individual-style plates, bowls, and cups used by Spanish colonists and Indigenous people in Mexico at the colonial center of New Spain. An ongoing study of ceramics from the West Florida presidios...

Labor Relations and Ceramic Technology in Spanish Northwest Florida (1698-1763) (2023)
This is a poster submission presented at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Archaeologists have traditionally applied a dichotomy to the classification of ceramics recovered from Northwest Florida presidios, reflecting broad assumptions about labor relations in the Spanish Southeast U.S. Ceramic sorting typically begins with the assumption that low-fired, hand-formed wares were produced by Native potters of the Southeast U.S. High-fired, wheel-thrown, or...
