Sorry for the SPAM but the lastest volume is now available at 
http://www.antiquecollectorsclub.com/
although you will find an unbelievable deal at amazon.com.


The 2007 volume of Ceramics in America is devoted to the topic of Bonnin and 
Morris soft-paste porcelain made in Philadelphia between 1770 and 1772. For 
the first time, all nineteen known objects from this important American “china” 
manufactory-along with related archaeological examples-are illustrated in 
full color. Essays by a diverse group of scholars present compelling perspectives 
on the significance of this fledgling industrial enterprise initiated on the 
eve of the American War of Independence. Presenting contemporary perspectives 
on this pioneer factory as well as incorporating important early work and the 
latest discoveries and archaeological finds, it promises to be a bible for 
ceramic scholars for generations to come. The issue also presents long-awaited 
material on potter John Bartlam of Charleston, South Carolina, which rewrites 
the history of American ceramics. 

Even if you are not a "Porcelain person" I feel there is much information 
that will   benefit historical archaeologists.   Especially interesting will be 
the early work of Garry Wheeler Stone and Paul Huey plus a reevaluation of 
research intiated by Stanley South at Cain Hoy, SC.
