<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 600604, member: 50&quot;]I know that trade routes and trade are studied however I&#039;m hardly the best one to know all that&#039;s known (wish I was). I do know that much of the 18th and 19th C ceramic sherds found in this part of the US are British. What percentage are Scottish I don&#039;t know. I live in a state where the first permanent settlement of the English was established and heavily influenced everything around here. If you venture far north, south or west the influence is different and weren&#039;t all under British rule early on though British ceramics are found everywhere. </p><p><br /></p><p>The valley near me had a large number of Scottish settlers so I&#039;d not be surprised if some sherds found there were of Scottish origin though how much they were able to purchase as opposed to bring with them I&#039;m not sure. It&#039;s fascinating research (at least to pot nerds) and I occasionally have been on the fringes of hearing what&#039;s being tracked.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, what I was really hoping to point out is that there are undoubtedly good websites that offer general ceramic date ranges associated with archaeology that could give good guidance in the UK. Just as the links I posted give a broad overview they also give some date ranges based on popularity and production along with some factory names. Just reviewing a few links I&#039;d bookmarked I find that many are no longer working.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll be in Scotland in a few weeks but probably any archaeology I see is going to be much older<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a link to the Scottish Pottery Society if you want to follow where that leads. It does have a long list of Scottish Potteries and the dates they were in operation though don&#039;t mention, in this link, what they were producing.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.scottishpotterysociety.co.uk/show.php?contentid=39" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.scottishpotterysociety.co.uk/show.php?contentid=39" rel="nofollow">http://www.scottishpotterysociety.co.uk/show.php?contentid=39</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
