The powerhouse College Park crew met in the lab today (Thursday, July 1st) to begin the final push of cataloging and labeling the artifacts from 2009 before the field school ends. Paul was the sole person labeling while the rest of us (Tahitia, Charlotte, Tim, and Danny) catalogued lots 55 through 63. We counted, described, and discarded a few fragments of black plastic, a plastic soda cap, and a gray paint chip. Most of the glass shards were from brown alcohol bottles manufactured by Duraglas and Temperglas. There were also glass pieces from a bottle containing Colden’s Beef. This brand of medicine and bottle type was manufactured between 1890 and 1915, an appropriate range for last year's site. Other interesting finds included such things as an ice skate blade that would have been tied onto a shoe.
