Sarah,

We recovered the torso of a Frozen Charlotte (she was missing her head,
hands and feet) from a shovel test during a Phase I survey of the
waterfront at George Washington's Ferry Farm, Fredericksburg, Virginia.
The breaks are slightly waterworn, so her injuries were not the result
of the shovel.  Her tiny body measures 11/4" and is made of unglazed
porcelain (parian).  Charlotte's photo made it into the report. Contact
me off list if you would like a copy of the report or it's bibliographic
reference.

Dear histarchites,

I am doing a short on-line article on Frozen Charlotte
dolls (see kyopa.org "topic of the month" next week!).
 From my own experience I feel these are fairly common
on mid 19th to early 20th century sites, but am having
trouble finding direct references to them in reports
or on-line resources.  I'm hoping some of you can help
add to my list of other archaeological sites and other
states where these dolls are found.

For a collectors page that features good
illustrations:

Thanks!
