The Pan-American Ceramics Project (www.panamericanceramics.org) is a new open-access web application designed to enhance the accessibility and reusability of ceramic data from across the Americas and all time periods, and advance our understanding of ceramic traditions at varying scales of geographic and temporal coverage. During this workshop, we will introduce you to the app’s current browsing capabilities, provide instruction on how to register and contribute data, and discuss future developments and areas for improvement. We also invite you to bring your own data set and computer to begin uploading your data on-site with our guidance. For more information visit: www.panamericanceramics.org/about.
