Thanks for replying Monique,
At the moment I am simply trying to compile a list of archaeological texts that, to some degree, reference original letters patents in artefact analysis or site interpretation, ultimately I am looking at how patent information is utilised by historical archaeologists (thus your reports would be relevant to what I'm looking for). I understand the request potentially encompasses an enormous breadth of work, but that may be more beneficial to me than not.

Regards,Mark

> Apologies in advance for the rather vague request, but I am seeking recommendations on post-nineteenth century reports/texts that specifically reference patented artefacts and materials within a site. I am not necessarily phased on the volumes of the objects themselves, but simply that references are made to the letters patent in the report (used for dating, identification, etc.). Ideally these would relate to Australian sites; however, the absence of such reports has made me widen my parameters. I would greatly appreciate any and all assistance people can offer.
