Brushing, while evidenced on 24 sherds, was not found on any rim sherds. Brushing
was found on both sand and shell tempered sherds, although it was more common on sand
tempered sherds. Incising was observed in nearly equal amounts on both jars and bowls,
and it was used on both sand and shell tempered vessels. Incising was used in
combination with notched applique strips. Applique strips on jars were placed below the
rim, while on bowls these strips were located on the shoulder, or "carination" of the bowl.
Applique strips were applied to both sand and shell tempered vessels. Round cane
punctations also were used to decorate bowls.
Bottle glass. Ninety-one dark green wine bottle glass fragments were recovered from the
midden, while four features contained dark green glass. No whole bottles were recovered.
Pharmaceutical bottle parts were less common than wine bottle glass. Sixteen
fragments of light green medicinal bottle glass were recovered from the midden, and none
were found in feature contexts.
Table Glassware. Drinking goblet styles changed throughout the eighteenth century, and
certain styles are useful for dating sites. Thirteen clear lead glass goblet fragments were
found. One fragment is a style that was produced from about 1720 until the mid-eighteenth
