>Dear Kerry, Sorry, I don't have anything to help you with your colonoware research. I've been meaning to write, so now that I have your e-mail address I can speed up the whole process. You might have seen the e-mail query I put out recently. At least you have a topic and have done a lot of research. I'm having trouble trying to find a topic that will allow me to take what I'm doing here (zooarchaeology, taphonomy, histology, etc.) and apply it to American historical materials. Yes, I could come home and work on a site, but what would I do when I had to return to London and write it up? Suppose I found I had overlooked something! Plus I don't think one of my supervisors is thrilled with the idea because he won't be able to see what I'm doing or advise me, which I can understand. Plus when I said I didn't have e-mail at home to keep in touch, he looked even more skeptical. Oh, well. I'm still hoping for more replies. I'm beginning to think a histology project may be the way to go. I could sample a site or context(s) and take the material back to London for study (microscopy or something). I haven't heard from anyone from South Carolina. I don't suppose you could pass on my e-mail query. If you did I would be very grateful. But I can imagine how busy you are, so if you can't I'll understand. I'd do some inquiring for you here, but as you might have guessed it is unlikely anyone here will even have heard of colonoware. Schoolwork aside, I hope things are going OK. I'm so busy with all the reading and projects here, there's not much time for anything else (OK-a little traveling and sightseeing). Is it the same with you? It's good to talk with someone who's in the same boat as me, so I hope you'll write back soon. It would be great to hear from you. Good luck, Andrea> >
