Ceramics from a Presidio: Preliminary Results from Presidio San Carlos, Chihuahua

Summary

This is an abstract from the "The Big Bend Complex: Landscapes of History" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Despite the distance and how isolated the Presidio was, it did not cease to belong to the globalized colonial economic sphere. The paper will present the first results of the study of the ceramic materials of the Presidio de San Carlos Archaeological Project (PAPSC). It is a project of historical archeology on the northern border of the state of Chihuahua, where a large amount of surface ceramic material was recovered, among which important representative types of the colonial era (eighteenth century) were identified. Some of those types are majolicas, green and red glazes, some Chinese types, and some other ceramic types that are highly likely to be locally manufactured and show the interaction with local communities.
