The Pottery of Trenton Society (P.O.T.S.) Newsletter is now on line. Many
of you have probably been finding Trenton hotelwares and white granite
toilet wares on your sites. P.O.T.S. is an organization made up of
historical archaeologists, ceramics historians and collectors interested in
the Trenton, New Jersey pottery industry. Trenton has been described as
the Staffordshire of America and had many potters from the Civil War period
until the 1930s. Recent excavations of the pottery sites funded by the New
Jersey Department of Transportation have produced a wealth of material from
these potteries and some of this information is now available in the
P.O.T.S. Newsletter as while as transcriptions of some important primary
documents.
