[Jeb Card · Rating 4 out of 5]

A basic overview of the glass and ceramics of the Spanish Empire, with a heavy emphasis on the Circum-Caribbean area (aka, not the US SW, Mexico, or most of South America). Not as detailed as Goggin's work with much of the same material, but the standard text on the topic, and worth having if you do New World archaeology
