A ceramic sherd representing about one third of a children’s plate with a Highland Dance design was recovered during ASI’s 2004 excavation of the Edgar Site. The complete plate would have measured approximately 2 7/8” in diameter and was made by Annfield Pottery in Scotland. Located in the City of Vaughan, Ontario, the Edgar site represents a 19th century rural homestead encompassing nine domestic features consisting of a drainage ditch, refuse pits, a root seller and building footprint. A total of 10,665 Euro-Canadian artifacts were found there during Stage 3 and 4 excavations.
