Current research on site 38CH1049, the Pritchard
Shipyard, has focused on the identification and analysis of two classes of
ceramic artifacts: ceramic vessels and kaolin tobacco pipes. To date, a
digital database of ceramic vessel sherds is nearly complete. This will allow
for the systematic analysis of this ceramic sub-assemblage.
In addition,
we
are preparing
the final drafts of
a report on the analysis of
kaolin tobacco pipe fragments. The primary focus of this analysis has been to
establish both the presence and/or absence of stratigraphic integrity and to
assign basic date ranges to each level, unit by unit. The catalogue of pipe
fragments will also be added to the site's digital database.

We want to thank the Archaeological Research Trust
Board for providing the funds for this important analysis.
