Steve --

if you need help before the CNEHA conference you might refer to my MA Thesis

"The Intercolonial Trade of Domestic Earthenwares and the Growth of an American Social Identity"
1989 College of William and Mary, Williamsburg Va.

or recent Historical Archaeology article 1999 (Vol 33, 3, 62-72)

"Pottery, Intercolonial Trade and Revolution...."

I used Philadelphia earthenwares found at Fortress Louisbourg as an example.

You might also want to look at

"Domestic Pottery of the Northeastern United States, 1625 - 1850"
1985, Sarah Peabody Turnbaugh, editor. Academic Press, Orlando, Fl


Good Luck,

Carl Steen
