Friends,
 
After posting a recent rhetorical question (and I stress rhetorical, not
value-laden) about the use of the internet to further contract archaeology
research, I humbly present a similar request to the group at large.
 
Our firm is currently completing analysis of a ceramic assemblage recovered
from a ca. 1830-1845 tavern site in southwest Michigan.  The most striking
thing about the assemblage, at least to me, is that it is dominated (ca. 90%)
by very nice transferprinted table and tea wares.  The cheaper wares (e.g.,
CC, edgewares, handpainted, etc.) are nearly invisible within the assemblage.
 Although this site would have been easily accessible to river-borne freight
out of the Great Lakes merchant networks, its location was really out on the
edge of the agrarian frontier during the relevant period.
 
Can anybody give me references (gray or otherwise) to any other comparable
sites that may have been excavated/analyzed?  Midwestern sites would be
better, but would be interested in a broader context, if at least roughly
comparable.
 
Thanking all in advance.  I would be glad to post a digest of whatever
references come in, if desired.
