Ron,
Wales and Scotland aren't in England ;-)
Otherwise I'll see what I can scramble together for you (off-list).
As far as community preferences in ceramics are concerned... that's part
of it, but don't forget that availability of goods can limit acquisition
and the ability to act on preferences.
Some of the Welsh data will be in my contribution to a Routledge volume
that Susan Lawrence is editing, and which I believe is scheduled for
publication later this year.
