{"product_id":"ceramic-production-in-early-hispanic-california","title":"Ceramic Production in Early Hispanic California","description":"In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, much of what is now the south-western United States was known as Alta California, a remote part of New Spain. The presidios, missions, and pueblos of the region have yielded a rich trove of ceramics materials, though they have been sparsely analysed in the literature. \u003cem\u003eCeramic Produc¬tion in Early Hispanic California\u003c\/em\u003e fills that lacuna and reinterprets the position of Alta California in the Spanish Colonial Empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing both petrography and neutron activation analysis to exam¬ine over 1,600 ceramic samples, the contributors to this volume ex¬plore the region’s ceramic production, imports, trade, and consump¬tion. From artistic innovation to technological diffusion, a different aspect of the intricacies of everyday life and culture in the region is revealed in each essay. This book illuminates much about Spanish imperial expansion in a far corner of the colonial world. Through this research, California history has been rewritten.","brand":"University Press of Florida","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56244057538904,"sku":"9780813049816","price":80.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780813049816_66c4d569-09ed-4e58-9215-ae41f4577724.jpg?v=1778301949","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/ceramic-production-in-early-hispanic-california","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
