Excerpted from the Editor's Preface
While we have tried to include the entire state in our discussion, the
book is written from a South Texas perspective as these are the primary
collections to which we have access and the sites with which we are most
familiar. The manuscript is divided into four chapters. The first three
chapters offer abbreviated background information. Chapter 1 is a brief
history of the Spanish occupation of Texas, included to provide a
background against which the details of ceramic types and dating will
fit. Chapter 2 is a very brief summary of the history of Spanish
ceramic manufacture in Mexico and a discussion of the importation of
these ceramics into Texas. Chapter 3 provides a brief summary of the
methods of manufacturing seen in Spanish ceramics in Texas, including
the surface treatments and vessel forms. A glossary of terms used in
ceramic analysis is included in Appendix A. Chapter 4 is the heart of
the publication. It consists of type descriptions of Spanish colonial
ceramics found in Texas. In most cases, each type includes a plate with
several examples in color facing the text of the type descriptions. The
layout is designed to facilitate identification. Each illustration will
include the location at which the specific item was found, but in order
to keep in-text citations to a minimum in Chapter 4, reference to the
specific project during which each was recovered is not made. Instead,
Appendix B consists of an extensive bibliography of archaeological site
reports and artifact analyses, organized by location, for Spanish
Colonial sites in Texas.
