The original online version of this article was revised to correct the errors outlined below.

The third sentence on page two, column two, paragraph two should read: Several researchers have partially met this need by creating ceramic price indices based on data from 19th- and 20th-century mailorder catalogs (Henry and Garrow 1982; Henry 1987; Thomas 1988; Manson and Snyder 1996; Sweitz 2012).

The eighth and ninth sentences on page four, column two, paragraph two should read: Still another example is Joseph’s (2000:119–122) application of the CC Index in the archaeological study of a free Black community in antebellum Georgia. Joseph proposes that the high index values of hollow vessels (compared to flat vessels) from this community reflect both African American dietary preferences and oppressive labor requirements. Other examples include use of the CC Index to measure dimensions of religious identity (Rotman 2010), gustatory privilege in relation to military rank in Oregon territory (Eichelberger 2019), and household economic strategy (Stottman 2016).

The first sentence on page five, column one, paragraph two should read: Several studies make strides towards meeting the demand for a ceramic price index for late 19th- and early 20th-century assemblages in the U.S. (Henry and Garrow 1982; Henry 1987; Thomas 1988; Manson and Snyder 1996; Sweitz 2012).

The second sentence on page 10, column one, paragraph one should read: In documenting toiletware, we included washbasins, chamber pitchers, soap dishes, soap slabs, combinets, shaving mugs, and chamber pots, and excluded other toiletware vessels such as brush holders and urinals.

The second-to-last sentence on page 10, column two should refer to Figure 2.

The first sentence on page 11, column one, last paragraph should cite Figure 1.

The first sentence on page 11, column two, paragraph two should read: 10,840 cases

The second sentence on page 22, column one, paragraph one should read: For example, as shown in Table 4, undecorated white refined-earthenware shallow plates are advertised at an average of $0.0789 each in the 1890s catalog sample.

Table 3 footnote b should read: In. or cm refer to vessel diameter (“D”) or maximum dimension (“L”), rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm or 0.5 in.; oz. refers to vessel volume (“V”); n/a indicates that actual size data are not available, as they are not provided by sources used in this study.

The footnotes of Tables 5j and 6f should each include: Note: Cells without numerical values represent cases in which the catalog sample did not yield price data for the vessel WDF type, index-vessel type, or both for the represented temporal unit.
