1. The work was conducted under a Virginia Department of Historic Resources Cost-Share Grant; funding partners included Washington County, the Washington County Preservation Foundation, and the William King Regional Arts Center (WKRAC). The project built on the extensive previous work by the Cultural Heritage Program at the WKRAC. The Wolf Hills Chapter of the Archeological Society of Virginia and Marcus King of the WKRAC assisted in the €eldwork. See C. T. Espenshade, Skelly and Loy, Inc., Monroeville, Pennsylvania, “Potters on the Holston: Historic Pottery Production in Washington County, Virginia” (report on €le, Virginia Department of Historic Resources, Richmond, 2002). 2. John A. Burrison, Brothers in Clay: The Story of Georgia Folk Pottery (Athens: University of Georgia Press, 1983), and Charles G. Zug III, Turners and Burners: The Folk Potters of North Carolina (Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press, 1986). 3. It has been suggested by some researchers that the presence of foreign stamps at a shop site simply re�ects that the potter in residence was copying his competitor’s wares. However, the relative frequency of the Mort and Barlow stamps at the Gardner kiln suggests that Mort and Barlow were producing pottery at the Gardner shop. Moreover, the variability in rim and base forms at the Gardner shop suggests the work of multiple potters. 4. A proposal is pending for test excavations at the Mort kiln under the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, Threatened Sites Program. Due to landowner issues, the Mort kiln was not examined in detail during the 2001–2002 survey. The site features an extensive waster pile and intact kiln elements. A very brief examination of sherds suggests a wide variety of rim forms, possibly indicating the presence of multiple potters there as well.
