Thanks! Turns out Hohman's study was also mentioned in:
 
Rathje, William R.
1979    An archaeological introduction to modern material culture. Advances
in Archaeological Method and Theory 2:1-37.  (pp 4-5)
 
which is our only excuse for thinking it was Schiffer--who remembered it and
gave me the reference.
