Tóm tắt

Chúng tôi trình bày kết quả phân tích địa chất của một mẫu gốm từ Fort Hill, một ngôi làng kiên cố ở phía tây nam New Hampshire được xây dựng và cư trú bởi một nhóm người bản địa từ mùa thu năm 1663 đến mùa xuân năm 1664. Các phân tích của chúng tôi cho thấy một mức độ khác biệt bất ngờ trong chất liệu gốm và các kỹ thuật sản xuất gốm so với những gì đã được báo cáo cho các tập hợp đương thời và hơi sớm hơn từ miền nam và trung New England. Chúng tôi giải thích sự hiện diện của sự khác biệt này có thể phản ánh sự kết hợp của nhiều truyền thống gốm khác nhau do sự hiện diện của những người tị nạn trong cộng đồng cư trú tại Fort Hill.
