Seventeenth, Eighteenth, and Nineteenth Century Materials: The Historical Archaeology Laboratory Handbook Volume 2

Volumes II and III focus on the identification of different kinds of materials and are divided chronologically. Volume II focuses on earlier materials, primarily from the 17th and 18th centuries, but also extending into the early decades of the 19th century. Ceramic materials, including smoking pipes, and glass (both window and vessel) are considered in the first part and "small finds" such as beads, buckles, thimbles, gun flints, and buttons can be identified in the second.
