Dear Group:
At long last here is a bibliography of some useful texts on bricks,=20
agricultural tiles, and manufacturing processes of same. It is broken=20
into three parts; namely treatises for the archaeologists, treatises for=20
the non-archaeologist but still useful, and a very very short listing of=20
excavations of brick/tile manufacturers. This last is brief because there=
=20
are so many of them in the grey literature that it seems more practical=20
to omit them. If people are wanting a comprehensive list, I'll need imput=
=20
from you guys, including those persons who gave papers at the SHA this=20
spring.=20
Anyway, suggestions are welcome. Hope its useful.=20
