Shackel returns to his theme of studying how consumerism acts on society in Harpers Ferry. In Culture Change and the New Technology, he analyzes consumer movements such as technology bringing mass produced ceramics and the idea of the Romantic consumerism (Shackel, 1996, pg. 23). Like in Annapolis, Harpers Ferry ceramic assemblages tell archaeologists about the availability of ceramics and the purchasing patterns of homeowners (pg. 119, 122). The Beckham and Moor households are both wealthy households that can afford wide assemblages of ceramics, but they differ in the variation of ceramics used for complex dining habits (pg. 122).

Eventually, ingredients included: scented red oils, powders and creams. It was by accident that it was discovered that “…boiling nitrocellulose made it soluble in organic
