The early, bedrock sources are by John Goggin: "The Spanish Olive Jar,
An Introductory Study" (Yale Univeristy Publications in Anthropology,
no. 62, 1960), and/or  "The Spanish Olive Jar," pages 253-98 of INDIAN
AND SPANISH, SELECTED WRITINGS, published in Coral Gables by the
University of Miami Press in 1964.  The olve jar has been written
about in innumerable archaeoogical reports since, but whether anyone
has summarized all the information accumulated since Goggin's time I
cannot say.  Sherds show up commonly in late eighteenth-century sites
in northern Sonora/southern Arizona.
