Summary
This paper will focus on what a set of very specific items documented in the BISC-2 cargo may indicate about relations between the Bristih imperial center and amongst various levels of its periphery--including Jamaica and North America--during the last third of the 18th century. We will focus in particular on: 1) a coloration pattern that is ubiquitous on the site that has been documented as having a limited production life and as destined for dumping in a colobial market considered less sophisticated in its tastes by Wedgewood; and 2) on a series of figurines that have been generally documented in a glazed condition but were all found unglazed on BISC-2.
