Supply and Demand: Colonoware Creation and Spanish Ideals at San Luis de Talimali

Summary

This is an abstract from the "First Floridians to La Florida: Recent FSU Investigations" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Colonoware is a type of ceramic frequently recovered from Spanish Colonial period sites in North America. Often colonoware is considered evidence of technological acculturation and Spanish- Native American interactions on the Spanish colonial frontier. The demand for ceramics outpaced the available supply and thus local indigenous potters made colonoware from local clays in desired or needed European styles. The degree to which the colonoware vessel forms identified at San Luis de Talimali, an Apalachee-Spanish site in La Florida, derive from Iberian ideals is tested using the Ceramic Organization in the Spanish Atlantic form classification system developed by Katheryn Ness.
