A couple things I'm trying to ID mostly from a colonial/federal era trash pit.

The big piece was found separately right under the chimney. The house was occupied 1770-present. The rest all came out of an early trash pit I started digging.

Wow! What a collection. This website might help you ID/date some of the pottery. Good luck.

Pic #6 is part of a "Token of Affection" mug.

This one is 1840's:

Pic #2 may be the remains of a fern trowel - a popular garden tool in the 19th C.

Really interesting on the token of affection mugs. Down another rabbit hole.... Reminds me of when I found my first frozen charlotte doll in a trash pit.

The tiny bit looks like the end of an parasol stem.
