Dish Sherds with Maker's Marks from Cottonwood Ranch, 14SD327
Date: 1891-1970
These dish fragments were recovered during the 1990 and 2002 Kansas Archeology Training Program field schools at the Cottonwood Ranch in Sheridan County. The ironstone dinner plate was made at the Johnson Brothers pottery between 1891 and 1939. The saucer was made at the J. and G. Meakin pottery between 1891 and 1970. The maker's marks on these dishes show that they were made in England. The Tariff Act of 1891 made country of origin labeling mandatory for items imported to the United States, though Europe had enacted such laws earlier. The ranch was established by Abraham Pratt from Yorkshire, England, in 1878 to raise sheep. Pratt's son, John Fenton Pratt and his family continued to raise sheep at the ranch until 1904. Cottonwood Ranch is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a State Historic Site.

Homer Laughlin Dishes from the Adair Cabin Site, 14MM327
Date: 1912-1929
These dishes were recovered during excavations in 2014 of the Adair cabin site, home of Reverend Samuel and Florella Brown Adair and their family, in Osawatomie, Kansas. The sauce dish and plate fragment, both from Laughlin's "Hudson" pattern, date slightly later than the occupation and removal of the cabin and may be from a later dumping episode. Osawatomie and the Adairs were much involved with the abolitionist movement during the "Bleeding Kansas" years.

Maker's Marks from Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site
Date: 1876-1952
These plate and platter fragments were recovered during the Kansas Archeology Training Program field school in 2022 at Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park in Topeka. All have maker's marks on their back. Top row: manufactured by Maddock & Co. of Burslem, England (between 1876-1903). Bottom row, left to right: Mortiz Zdekauer of Austria (1884-1909), Ridgways of Shelton, England (1920-1952), and Clementonson Bros of Shelton, England (1891-1916). An earlier school, Monroe School, was on the property from 1874 to 1927. The current Monroe Elementary School (built in 1926 and closed in 1975) serves as the interpretive center for the park. Both were segregated African American schools until 1954 when the Supreme Court ended legal segregation in the United States.

Date: 1869-1950

This site served not only as a depot, but also had dwellings, a meat market, a saloon, a possible boarding house or hotel, a grain elevator and other commercial buildings located within the project area excavated in 1995 by Kansas Historical Society archeologists.

George Pottery Company of Pennsylvania in their Derwood pattern.
