Plate sherd
First part of the 19th century
Museum of Ontario Archaeology
London, Canada
In 2014, Archaeological Services Inc. excavated the William Joyce site in Halton Hills. The site revealed several large sherds of pearlware, a common type of ceramic in the early nineteenth century. Despite dominating tableware sales in the early 1800s, pearlware was only sold in Ontario until the mid-1830s as its popularity decreased. This fragment was once part of a dinner plate.
