What is Pottery from Spanish shipwrecks : 1500-1800 about?

<p>"A classic whose quality will meet the test of time.&nbsp; No doubt this book will become a standard reference for students of the early modern archaeology of the Spanish empire, be their focus under the ground or under the sea."--Russell Skowronek, Santa Clara University</p> <p>"An important new archaeological approach. . . . To date, archaeologists have paid little systematic attention to [artifact collections recovered from shipwreck sites].&nbsp; Marken's book demonstrates that this is a resource that simply cannot be ignored."--Lynn Harris, Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of South Carolina</p> <p>With this original and comprehensive analysis of Spanish pottery, a large collection of securely dated examples recovered from shipwrecks appears in print for the first time.&nbsp; Because wrecks provide solid dates and a quantity of artifacts that far exceeds the number normally found on land sites, significant new generalizations now can be made about the role of pottery in the period of the Spanish empire.<br> &nbsp;Marken focuses on olive jars and tableware, the common pottery of the seaman and the everyday colonist.&nbsp; Heavily illustrated with drawing
