Due to the existence of wares that were produced both within and outside Spanish-tradition workshop in Panamá Viejo, this site offers an apt opportunity to study how coexisting but seemingly distinct potting communities organized their craft in a colonial context. To this end, a sample of two locally produced wares—one characterized by high-fired, wheel-thrown, and tin-glazed vessels known as Panamanian Majolica and the other by low-fired, handmade, and coarse-textured utilitarian vessels known as Criolla—were analyzed. The findings of the macroscopic and microscopic characterizations revealed that highly divergent potting communities, whose productions practices and craft organization varied drastically, coexisted at the site.

由于在PanamáViejo的西班牙传统作坊内部和外部生产的商品，该站点提供了一个适当的机会来研究在殖民地背景下并存但看似不同的盆栽社区如何组织其工艺。为此，我们对两种本地生产的商品进行了抽样调查，一种以高火力，抛掷轮式和镀锡玻璃船为特色，称为巴拿马马约里卡，另一种以低火力，手工制作且质地较粗的实用工具船为特征。 Criolla-已进行分析。宏观和微观特征的发现表明，该地区并存高度不同的盆栽社区，其生产实践和工艺组织大相径庭。
