This guide is intended to facilitate agreement on designations of ceramic styles and types among archaeologists working in Zacatecas. It is not intended as a comprehensive source. The photography needs to be improved and descriptions added. The classification of incised-engraved wares follows and expands upon Trombold's unpublished classification.

Please note the design classification for incised-engraved wares on the final page of this guide.
