This project examines indigenous made ceramics recovered from two contemporaneous Spanish Mission period sites in Apalachee Province of La Florida. The study focuses on Colonoware, a ceramic type made using non-European manufacturing methods that mimic or are influenced by European ceramic vessel forms. For both samples, sherds possessing qualities that could tie them to forms used in European table service such as cups, brimmed plates and bowls, or pitchers were used as markers of Colonoware. Mission Red Filmed was identified solely based on red pigmentation, and while form and temper were analyzed and recorded those qualities were not the basis for identification for this type. The most substantial issue in ceramic studies is the lack of a concrete and widely applicable classification for this type. The term Colonoware is widely applied to sites of different cultural and temporal contexts. In this study I propose a reformed system of nomenclature that more accurately depicts the context in which these ceramics are found.
