Mark,
We hit three brick clamps within three years. Never saw one before and never since. One dating from the Colonial period was excavated completely (I can send you a pdf). The other two dated to town building episodes in the early to mid-1800s (Scottsville, VA and New Market, MD) but were only partially excavated.

Maney Publishing acquires the journals of Left Coast Press, Inc.
In an innovative partnership, Maney Publishing has acquired the journal publishing division of Left Coast Press, Inc. (LCP). The 13 journals centre around a strong group of archaeology and anthropology titles, including California Archaeology, Ethnoarchaeology, and Lithic Technology, which complement one of Maney's key subject strengths. A further group of titles, including Journal of Museum Education, broaden Maney's activity in heritage and museology, whilst a group of significant titles on qualitative research and education add a new dimension to Maney's list.

Subject: Brick Clamp
Folks,
Our crews have just exposed the subplowzone base of a small, ca. 1830-1860 brick clamp in rural Illinois – probably no more than 30-ft square. I am looking for comparables in either published or unpublished reports, or contemporary literature about design and function …
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Carol Spears also did one in Arkansas around 2001 or 2002.
You might want to check with the Arkansas Archeological Survey to see if that have it on file.

Subject: Re: Brick Clamp
I wrote a dissertation in 1992 on antebellum plantation brickmaking outside Charleston SC. No clamps were excavated, but it does contain a discussion of the process and the economics. I know it is available from University Microfilms and probably elsewhere--possibly from the University of Florida library as a pdf.
Wayne, Lucy B. 1992. Burning Brick: A Study of a Lowcountry
Industry. College of Architecture, University of Florida,
Gainesville.
Brockington & Associates in Mt. Pleasant, SC did excavate several brick kilns in the same region, including some of the ones I wrote about. Try Eric Poplin for information and reports.
