Sept. 10, 2024: Site 30 Coarse Earthenware Images
American Lead-Glazed Coarse Earthenware Images from Site 30
September 10, 2024
Scroll through this image gallery to see examples of vessels so far recovered and analyzed from our current excavation at Site 30. These lead-glazed coarse earthenwares vary significantly in their physical attributes, providing a glimpse into the level of experimentation occurring in American potteries during the late-18th century. Interestingly, a vessel-level analysis showed that there are two identical bowls recovered from Site 30 that resemble similar sherds recovered from Sites 6 and 8 as well as Buildings o and D/j. We are continuing to examine this assemblage to investigate the growing pottery industry in Virginia and how this may expand our understanding of material access during the Revolutionary War and occupation of Site 30.
