The Church Tower Dig, Part III: Outlaw Talks North Devon Sgraffito - Dig Deeper, Episode 37
Historic Jamestowne’s Senior Curator, Merry A. Outlaw and Curator, Leah Stricker, discuss the pottery artifacts found during recent excavations outside the Church Tower on Jamestown Island. They also compare these recently uncovered artifacts with other North Devon Sgraffito Slipware ceramics and explain how knowing the form and decorations of these beautiful ceramics can date the pottery to the middle or late 1600s This conversation also draws upon Merry Outlaw’s previous publication (“Scratched in Clay: Seventeenth-Century North Devon Slipware at Jamestown, Virginia") published in the 2002 edition of Ceramics in America which may be viewed at:

The large bowl is stunning, and the knowledge imparted is wonderful. ❤
most informative. Kudos to the ladies presenting this.
Thank you for the history lesson! Very informative. Enjoy your videos
These are so educational and just plan wonderful. Thank you for putting these on.
I'd love to see a finger print , just great work you people do
Cool.
Beautiful pieces. Wonderful video. Thank you to everyone involved, both in front of and behind the camera.
Interesting to use the broken pieces as a sort of backfill. When we demolish a house/room with drywall we smash the pieces to use as fill on our gravel driveway. Repurpose! Great video. Mary
So love these 'Dig Deeper' videos! Just enough to basic info and make some of us want more. Special thanks for the link to the Ceramics In America article!
I have a Chickasha I.T. brick with a fingerprint in it. Your jobs are so fascinating. Thanks for sharing Ladies.
The mugs are beautiful. Totally enjoyed the video and the article to which a link was provided on the collection referenced.
I'm direct descendent of James town John or. Merchant John who came on the Marygold in 1619
Very interesting! Thanks!
Have you ever found fingerprints that match?
Was the lead content of the glaze they used significant enough to harm the user of those vessels?
Would love to see 400+ yr old fingerprints
Impressive but could you please remove "cool" from your presentation? Thank, otherwise excellent.
