Data


Virtual Valdivia

Virtual Valdivia is home to an online database of archaeological ceramics from the Valdivia culture of coastal Ecuador. Valdivia dates between 3800 and 1450 BC. It is one of the earliest ceramic traditions in the Americas. The Virtual Valdivia database includes object record data for hundreds of ceramic vessels to facilitate inter-site analysis by archaeologists around the world.

Virtual Valdivia is a project developed by Dr. Sarah M. Rowe as part of the Institute on Digital Archaeology Methods & Practice sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the MATRIX Center for Digital Humanities & Social Sciences at Michigan State University. The Virtual Valdivia database is hosted by Open Context. Access Virtual Valdiva here.
