Mission Ceramics is a new and innovative software solution that permits the user to review and study a "virtual type collection" of California and Southwestern US Mission era (16th - 19th century) ceramic wares most commonly encountered in historical archaeology contexts. Drawing on recent advances in multimedia technology, this program incorporates video, audio, multimedia slide shows and interviews with area specialists, virtual taxonomies, ceramic color charts, and an electronic flash card system. The flash cards alone include basic identifications of some of the most prominent earthen wares recovered in Spanish colonial, Mexican era, and early American archaeological sites, including production dates, provenience information, and production data on some 50 Mission era earthenware and porcelain types. As such, Mission Ceramics affords teachers, students, and scholars with a ready source of ceramic information, and color-corrected scale figures, useful for lab and field identification of selected earthenware types by archaeologists, museum personnel, collectors, and students of period artifacts.
