An interpretation of French ceramics from a migratory fishing station, Dos de Cheval, Newfoundland (EfAx-09)
Excavations at Dos de Cheval (EfAx-09) on Newfoundland's Petit Nord present the opportunity to study a complex and extensive ceramic assemblage from a French migratory fishing station. The 17th- to 19th-century ceramic assemblage includes Normandy stoneware, brown and white faïence, Ligurian-st...
