Beaudry, Department of Archaeology, Boston University This volume, along with the 16 that precede it, is an important resource for years to come for anyone with an interest in America's ceramic history. The sheer diversity of ceramic forms and types that have been uncovered through archaeological research is in itself compelling, but even more so are the stories of early American exploration and life teased out by those like Hume and his colleagues. --Mary C. Beaudry, Department of Archaeology, Boston University Antiques and the Arts Online
