We have recovered 147 fragments of small solid ceramic figurines at two of the locations of the West Florida presidio in Pensacola, Florida dating between 1723 and 1763. Large hollow figurines have been recovered at Presidio San Miguel (1757-1763) in Pensacola and Mission San Luis (1676-1704) near Tallahassee. FL. The figurines are preliminarily described with images in Presidios of Spanish West Florida newly published by the University Press of Florida

As far as I know now, these figurines are unique outside of the central basin of Mexico. I have a research assistant scouring the literature west of the Mississippi for other figurines in Spanish colonial context, but so far nothing. 

Does anyone know of any other ceramic figurines in Spanish colonial context outside of central Mexico? If you do, we sure would appreciate it if you would point us in the right direction.
