Eighteenth-century ceramics from Fort Michilimackinac a study in historical archeology / [by] J. Jefferson Miller II and Lyle M. Stone   Author:  Miller, J. Jefferson author Title:  Eighteenth-century ceramics from Fort Michilimackinac a study in historical archeology / [by] J. Jefferson Miller II and Lyle M. Stone Publisher:  Washington Smithsonian Institution Press; [for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Govt. Print. Off.] 1970. Description:  ix, 130 pages illustrations, maps 29 cm Electronic Version:  Online Publication  http://dx.doi.org/10.5479/si.00810258.4.1 Series:  Smithsonian studies in history and technology, no. 4 Abstract:  The primary objective of this publication is a detailed description of the Fort Michilimackinac ceramics collection (1959-1965), including comments on the manufacture, importation, use, and dating of each ceramic type described. The term “ceramics” as used in this report excludes aboriginal ceramics and kaolin pipes. It is hoped that the descriptions will contribute to the research of the following specialists: (a) the historical archeologist, by providing a documentation of datable ceramic types for comparative purposes; (b) the artifact historian, by providing data derived from a region and period relatively unknown from the standpoint of ceramic importation and use; and (c) the cultural historian, by providing evidence indicating the level of socioeconomic life maintained at Fort Michilimackinac and presumably at other comparable frontier military posts.A second objective is to illustrate the interpretative value of historical sites ceramics. By presenting several interpretative problems to which ceramics data may be applied, we hope to faciliate the evaluation of historical sites upon which ceramics are found. The relationships between ceramic change and changing patterns of social life through time in view of different historical and geographical factors must also be studied. For example, ceramic data may reflect diverse functional activities on a site, the presence of various status or socioeconomic groups, and the locus and importance of different trade routes. Information from sites in addition to Fort Michilimackinac has been presented to support many of the interpretations posited.In consideration of these objectives, this study has been organized as follows. Chapter I: outline of the history of Fort Michilimackinac and the program of archeological research. Chapter II: description of ceramic types from the site. Chapter III: interpretation of historical sites ceramic data Notes:  Also available electronically as a PDF file or files (requires Adobe Actobat Reader).
