We demonstrate two quantitative methods for potential inter- and intra-group comparisons of archaeological ceramics. For 3D morphometrics, we define a single stable landmark that is consistent throughout our ceramic data, and employ opposing curves populated by semi-landmarks to capitalize on the shape variation that occurs in coil-built ceramics. Eight such curves are used to capture four complete profiles. The landmark data are then subjected to generalized Procrustes analysis (GPA) and...
George Toasts George? (It’s Complicated): 'G.R.' Mugs and the Changing Identity of the Washington Family from Loyal Brits to Revolutionaries (2018)
The presence of ‘G.R.’ drinking vessels on mid-eighteenth century archaeological sites in Virginia is typically nothing to write home about… unless the sites in question are associated with individuals who were to become significant figures in the American Revolution. ‘G.R.’ vessels have been recovered from George Washington’s boyhood home at Ferry Farm, and Kenmore, his sister Betty’s home with her husband Fielding Lewis, a financier of the Revolution. Like most colonists, they viewed...

Green Sherd Images (2012)
This scanned photo is in the Earl Sidler collection, now in the possession of Timothy Abel. It was probably done in the early 1970's by Gordon Schmahl, then of the SUNY/Buffalo Anthropology Dept. when the material was on loan to Marian White.

Heath Sherd Images (2012)
The scanned photos of Heath sherds were created for Earl Sidler (a grad. student at SUNY/Buffalo) in the early 1970's. In the late 1980's Sidler gave these photos to Engelbrecht, who in turn gave them to Tim Abel. Engelbrecht borrowed these from Abel to scan and upload them to tDAR in 2012.

Historic Pueblo Canteens: How were they made and how were they used? (2015)
Historic Pueblo potters formed ceramic canteens that have one flat and one bulbous side. This form posed unique issues for construction. The form is symmetrical along only one axis, and while other Pueblo ceramic forms exhibit this feature, such as duck effigies, these flat-sided canteens are unique in that they were made to carry water. The shape suggests it was designed to be transported against a flat object. 19th century ethnographic research suggests transportation against a human back,...
Historical ecology of landscape transformations and ceramic industries at the site of Cedro (Lower Tapajós) from pre-colonial to colonial times. (2016)
The presence of demographically dense indigenous societies in the Lower Tapajós River during AD 900-1600 is visible in the present day’s landscape through the existence of Amazonian Dark Earth (ADE), earthworks, and a distinctive ceramic industry. As demonstrated by recent archaeological surveys, landscape transformations and ceramic assemblages associated to the Tapajó chiefdom are widespread at the regional scale and attest to common cultural practices. Although these archaeological sites are...
The Hoecake Site:Marking the Woodland-Mississippian Transition in Southeast Missouri. (2015)
The Hoecake site is a Late Woodland to Early Mississippian (A.D. 500-1100) site, located in the Cairo Lowland in southeast Missouri. This mound site contained as many as thirty to fifty mounds at one time, some of which contained burials. Multiple excavations were done at the site in the 1960s as part of the land leveling salvage archaeological work done in the area at the time. Other than an initial report of the excavations, no major analysis has been done on the site until now. The...
Holly Bend Plantation: Early19th Century Blacksmith Forge and Dependencies (2017)
Robert Davidson built Holly Bend (sometimes called Hollywood in the 20th century) between 1795 and 1800 on 420 acres that his father, Major John Davidson (early settler and Revolutionary War participant from Mecklenburg County), gave him in 1795. The house, which was built in a bend of the Catawba River and is reputed to have been named for the holly trees that grow in great abundance in the area, was completed before Robert married Margaret Osborne on January 1, 1801. Robert Davidson,...
The Home Network: X-ray Florescence and Geochemical Data of Post-Medieval Ceramics in Ulster (2016)
The area known as Ulster is one region where complex colonial and ethnic relationships are evident in the past, as well as in the present. This study looks specifically at the trade of ceramics in Post-Medieval Ulster, to see if coarse earthenware ceramics are being imported from elsewhere along with English refined earthenwares or if they are being produced locally in Ireland. Through the use of portable X-ray florescence (pXRF), the multi-elemental makeup of 1342 sherd will be examine to...
Household Ceramics across communities of Labor, a study from central Appalachia (2017)
Excavations during the summers of 2015 and 2016 by the Coal Heritage Archaeology Project focused on the residential communities that once lived in Tams, WV and Wyco, WV. These communities originated as coal company towns, in which all residents worked for and rented their houses from the coal company. Because these communities were somewhat isolated, many of the residents could only shop at the company store. This study examines the ceramic materials recovered from different racial, and...
How does the organization of ceramic production change through time? An Ethnoarchaeological View (2016)
Changes in pottery through time and their organizational correlates are fundamental to archaeological inference. Such correlates rely upon theory based upon distilling various ethnographic cases filtered through a series of socio-economic and socio-political assumptions about the relationship of production to the society at large. This paper summarizes some of the results of a diachronic study of pottery production units in Ticul, Yucatán, from 1965 to 2008. The data show that the kin structure...
