At the October 19 Dr. Patricia Samford conducted a workshop on identifying post colonial refined earthenwares. Rather than a presentation, Patricia provided each of us with handouts and brought lots of examples of decorated earthenwares recovered from archaeological sites. She even brought a copper plate like that used in transfer printing as well as a piece of transfer printed paper. So we sat in a circle and passed examples around. And, of course, we asked questions questions. Normally meetings last about an hour, but we stayed longer since there was so much to see. We probably could have stayed even longer. Definitely a really good workshop.

Dr. Patricia Samford is the Director of the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Lab.
Since workshops need to be small, attendance was limited to CCASM and ASM members.
Attendance: 8
