Book 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. This study fills that void and reinterprets the position of Alta California in the Spanish Colonial Empire.
