Dear hist-arch folks
I was hoping that someone might be able to help me out with a reference or two. The students in my lab class have just begun to go through and catalog a collection of artifacts dating to the late 18th and 19th centuries, excavated in Middletown, CT. We're finding a lot of sherds of hand painted pearlware, with designs in blue paint in Chinese styles.
Are there any particularly good sources that could help my students and I find out more about these specific wares? I have the usual general historical archaeology ceramic references, but I was wondering if there was anything a little more specific.
Thanks so much - replies can be sent off list to my work address: [log in to unmask]
Best,
Sarah Croucher
