My potterer (?) friends have already seen this one, but it's new to me and wow...

Michiel Bartels. Steden in Scherven: Vondsten uit beerputten in Deventer, Dordrecht, Nijmegen en Tiel (1250-1900) [Cities in Sherds: Finds from Cesspits in Deventer, Dordrecht, Nijmegen and Tiel (1250-1900)]. (Amersfoort: Stichting Promotie Archeologie, 1999). 2 volumes.

In Dutch with English captions and a small English summary. Volume 2 is the inventory of finds, with English translation of terms, which includes redware and other types of pottery, ceramics, glass, metal pieces, and some pipes. Of special interest to me were the 3-4 pages of period chamberpots, but other items, like the moneyboxes, pipkins, frying pans, etc. are enough to make anyone's mouth water.
