This paper shares findings and interpretations from my doctoral research centered around the persistence of Indigenous practice, as can be observed through the analysis of bone-tempered pottery from the 18<sup>th</sup> century sites of San Antonio missions and Rancho de las Cabras. Bone-tempered pottery is ubiquitous on archaeological sites throughout Central Texas. It is found on precolonial sites, at Spanish colonial mission, and it is even present at residential sites from the mid 19<sup>th</sup> century. Yet making sense of this pottery that has been produced for so long and is present in so many contexts still presents a challenge. While archaeological analysis has been conducted on different components of this ceramic, there remains many questions to be answered about it.
