Abstrakt: In 2009, Idaho Power Company archaeologists monitored construction of a substation on the former location of an ad hoc trash dump in Nampa, Idaho. The monitoring resulted in the recovery of a collection of artifacts that included glass bottles and containers, many with remnants of the original contents. The work reported here focuses on bottles that held health-related products in common use during the earlier parts of the twentieth century. The materials were identified through various chemical analyses, thereby highlighting the utility of analytical chemistry in historical archaeology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
