Forthcoming New York City Research Article to be Published by Untapped New York in New York City

With tens of thousands of social media followers in the New York City area, and an even larger readership, I am excited to announce that I have written a research article that will likely be published next week by Untapped New York, titled, "Early Red Earthenware Recovered in New York City." I am thrilled to share this story with the New York City market. According to their website, "Untapped New York unearths New York City's secrets and hidden gems by discovering the city's most unique and surprising places and events for the curious mind."

This article revisits some of my previously published New York City material, combined with some new information. Although, this is not the eighteenth century New York City article I wrote that I cited on this website last week.

Among the wares illustrated is some nineteenth century production from Norwalk, Connecticut, especially the slip-script wares that have been recovered from a variety of contexts in the city. For instance, this dish is from my personal collection, attributed to the Asa Edward Smith (1798-1880) Pottery (operated circa 1825-1887) in Norwalk, circa 1825-1850, and it is an example of slip-script  Norwalk production found in a number of contexts in the city, including Manhattan.

But the diversity of domestic red earthenware found in eighteenth and nineteenth century archaeological contexts in New York City is what fascinates me today; aside from local production, wares made in Connecticut, Long Island, New Jersey and Philadelphia are all represented in the city's archaeology collections.

I will post a link to this website once the story has been published; however, it will be available to read on Untapped New York's website.
