Hi Janice
 
I've worked on both rural and urban OC sites.  The small, rural sites  have 
mostly fragmented pieces of brownware; whole items are rare.
 
Excavations in the Chinese community at Folsom, CA yielded quite a few  
whole or nearly whole items.  We had 14 complete spouted jars from a large  
features associated with an association hall that served as a gathering place,  
boarding house and had a restaurant for members.  On the entire site we  
recovered 4 complete globular jars (and two half complete), a few  shouldered 
jars, a few jugs and over 2 dozen spouted jars.  Note that  many of the 
whole items were in features created as part of clean up efforts  following a 
large fire that wiped out three city blocks, or were tossed into  cellars and 
pits as part of fire clean up and rebuilding efforts.
