Can you dig it? Ceramics on the Western Frontier: The Archaeological Assemblage from Fort Massac, 1794-1814'

This month's blog post takes us back two-hundred years to Fort Massac on the Ohio River in southern Illinois and the extensive artifact assemblage discovered there from the late eighteenth-century and War of 1812-era component. 

'Ceramics on the Western Frontier: The Archaeological Assemblage from Fort Massac, 1794-1814' by Robert F Mazrim and John A Walthall was published in a 2012 issue of Midcontinental Journal of Archaeology. The hoard included a minimum of 453 ceramic vessels, consisting primarily of creamware, pearlware, and redware products and provides a well-bracketed view of the nature of such goods on the western frontier immediately before and during the War of 1812.
