I am currenlty editing a book on the historical archaeology of the
cutlery industry in Sheffield, England (1750-1900).
I wondered if list members could tell me of examples of Sheffield
knives and forks (or other items) that have been found in dated
archaeological contexts beyond the UK?
Any comments or references would be gratefully recieved.
