Latest Developments on French Ceramics in North America: French Production Sites and Centres

Part of: Society for Historical Archaeology 2014

During the last 20 years or so, French archaeologists and ceramic specialists have documented numerous productions sites dating from the late 15th to the late 18th Century. Some of those ceramics may have made it to the French North American colonies. This session will focus on the researches made through the last years in documenting the French ceramic productions (including coarse earthenware, tin-glazed earthenware and stoneware), their attributes and possible distribution across the Atlantic.
