Ceramic plate

A number of sherds fit together to form this complete plate with a blue transfer print design depicting a goat standing on a cliff. The central scene is surrounded by a scroll and floral border. The backmark is impressed, not printed, and reads, “Enoch Wood & Sons / Burslem”. Enoch Wood brought his sons into his business in 1818, and Enoch died in 1840, giving a date range for the plate of 1818–1840. The pattern is part of the Sporting Series.

The sherds were found in 1971 during excavation of the southeast wall line at Historic Fort Snelling. This excavation trench ran from the south battery (also known as the Hexagonal Tower) to the officers' latrines. This area was used as a dump and contained a wide variety of artifacts.
