TRADE TOGETHER”: AN ANALYSIS OF 17TH-CENTURY CERAMICS IN PLYMOUTH COLONY August 2020 Elizabeth G Tarulis, B.A., Cornell University M.A., University of Massachusetts Boston Directed by Dr Christa M Beranek This thesis analyzes the formation of early English colonial trade networks through an examination of three Plymouth Colony sites Although Plymouth Colony has been studied extensively by both historians and archaeologists, materials from the original settlement have only recently been identified by University of Massachusetts, Boston archaeologists at Burial Hill in downtown Plymouth, Massachusetts This thesis compares the 17th-century ceramics from Burial Hill (1620-c 1660) to two homesteads established later by Plymouth colonists, the Alden First Home Site and the Allerton/Prence/Cushman Site A minimum number of vessels (MNV) was established for each site and the country of origin was established for each vessel to determine the origin of consumer goods, specifically ceramics, in Plymouth Colony These vessels were then divided up into “English” and “foreign” categories, and a iv chi-square analysis was conducted to determine whether the composition of ceramics was significantly different at Burial Hill than at the later two sites By comparing a site that likely pre-dates the implementation of most of the Navigation Acts (1651, 1660) to two sites that continue decades after their passage, it is possible to determine whether there was a significant effect on Plymouth’s trade The results of this analysis demonstrate that the difference between Burial Hill, the Alden First Home Site, and the Allerton/Prence/Cushman Site with respect to proportions of English to Foreign vessels is not statistically significant This suggests that the percentage of foreign vessels did not significantly change over time In addition, there were more English and foreign ware types found at the later sites than at Burial Hill Combined with documentary evidence, this indicates that the Plymouth colonists were skirting regulations and establishing their own personal and intercolonial trade networks, even as the English government tried to limit them
