Hello everyone,

I'm compiling a bibliography of studies that used INAA or NAA to  
characterize historic, colonial, or post-medieval ceramics, made  
between about 1500-1900.  I've attached below the list I've generated  
from the past few days of research and I'd appreciate any other  
suggestions or leads.  Please note that I've not yet included any  
studies of North American or Caribbean colonoware, nor domestic North  
American wares generally, nor ceramics from Asia.  I've simply not  
included those yet, but will.  If anyone out there can think of other  
studies, please drop me an email with a name or reference.

Thanks! I'll post a follow up message that includes any compiled  
responses.

Cheers,
Tim
