The Western European Coarse Earthenwares from the Wreck of the Machault
by K. J. Barton
Abstract
The bulk of the coarse earthenware ceramics recovered from the
Machault, a French ship sunk in the Restigouche River in 1760,
comprises three types: Type 1, green-glazed white-fabric ware; Type 2
slip-decorated red-fabric ware, and Type 3, undecorated, unglazed and
partly glazed red-fabric ware, The remainder are miscellaneous decorated
and undecorated coarse earthenwares. The coarse earthenwares originated
in Western Europe a source in southwestern France is postulated for Type
1 and in the south of France or southwestern France for Types 2 and 3.
The evidence suggests that Types 1, 2 and 3 were part of the cargo of
the Machault and that the miscellaneous coarse earthenwares were
ship's goods.
