Stanley South, who led the site's  excavation in 1966, fully describes such discoveries as fortifications  from the French and Indian War and twenty ruins of various shops and  dwellings in the town. He also illustrates methods of ruin excavation  and stabilization, including the replacement of palisade posts in the  original fort ditch as part of the site's development as Historic  Bethabara Park. \u003cbr\u003e  Some of the most interesting of South's finds concern the confluence  of two traditions of pottery and stoneware production. One of these is  represented by forty pottery wheel-thrown types and forms made by the  master German potter Gottfried Aust between 1755 and 1771, excavated  from the ruin of his shop and kiln waster dump. Additional work at  both Bethabara and Salem recovered the waster dumps of Aust's  journeyman potter Rudolph Christ, who had also studied with the  Staffordshire potter William Ellis. Christ's wares, which demonstrate  both German and English influences, are discussed in detail. \u003cbr\u003e  Extensively documented and heavily illustrated with over 320  photographs, drawings, and maps, this volume - a classic  example of the process of historical archaeology as demonstrated by  one of its foremost practitioners in America - is a valuable  resource for avocational archaeologists, particularly those living in  the Southeast, as well as historical archaeologists, historians,  ceramicists, ceramics collectors, students of colonial culture, and  museologists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-06-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781475771978\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/b110199\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 442\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47406443921548,"sku":"9781475771978","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781475771978.jpg?v=1775826521","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781475771978","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
