General Question Posted by Marybeth Tomka on June 13, 2026, 11:06 pm Hello, I am new to researching transfer patterns at this level of detail. I am a retired archaeologist doing some post retirement work and trying to teach myself a new skill. This evening I was looking for a Caledonia image that doesn't appear in any source. Is that normal? Its from a site that was destroyed by a hurricane after about 35 years, so I have a short time frame on Gulf of Mexico in Texas. It appears to fit the general man with kilt and gun one sherd and then the other has Caledonia border. Trying to get some reassurance I am doing this correctly. Thanks!

Yes, you're doing it correctly, and doing well to identify as much as you have from just a couple of sherds. We have this little background guy in Caledonia #04, pattern #5446 in our database. Attaching a couple of pictures, you can see him at lower left.
