A lovely piece of scratch-blue ceramic (white salt-glazed stoneware, 1744-1775) to get the weekend started right. #historicalarchaeology #historicceramics
Shows a small rim fragment of scratch-blue ceramic. A cobalt blue flower on a light grey background. The salt-glaze gives it a nice shininess.

Unfortunately we’ve had to cancel the 2025 Mohegan-Tufts archaeological field school. We return in summer 2026! Here’s our 2024 crew at work.
