Is this (above) a serious statement? If so, you are about to be so
snowed under!

Thank you both for asking.  Yes, I'm serious.  I am working on the use
and meaning of wall anchors (muurankeren), and comparing this building
technique to other ways people identified themselves, or others as being
Dutch.  I'm particularly interested in the use of material culture in
such identification.

I am fairly well on with identifying the occurances of short wall
anchors around the world (and have lots of animated maps, showing how
different forms spread, such as the S-shaped ones which predominate more
in Wallonie and France, and then go across to Canada).  I am about to
start sorting out the comparative material, which includes distinctive
ceramic assemblages, marbles, and distinctive tools.  I'm working both
from archaeologically excavated material and from inventories.

I'm particularly lacking contacts/information in Brazil, Taiwan, Africa
outside South Africa, and the Middle East.

With best wishes,

Pat
