Me again...
I'd like to thank everyone for replying...as usual the folks here are a
great source of help!
But Ron asks a good question...so I have to admit that the soil matrix in
this unit appears to have been disturbed. Other units in the same house lot
were not, however. The larger context was once an important neighborhood
gathering place (the yard of a small corner store, near a public school and
next door to a barbershop, surrounded on the same lot by small bungalows and
shotgun houses). But I and our students (most of whom had never seen this
object in it's "original" type of form) were very curious about when this
item of pop culture first came to be used widely. Now we know, and I am
grateful that many of you took the time to answer the question. I will be
passing it along to the students and team, and if we find one in future
(hopefully in an UNdisturbed context!), refer people to the Histarch
archives!
Speaking of wikipedia (and I'm embarrassed I didn't think of checking it
myself) I have found it useful as a starting point for research -- on an
object, or a body of writing, or a person, or a place, etc. But I don't cite
it, or let my students do so...I always go to the sources it mentions to see
for myself what they say.
I had the unpleasant experience of it being wrong about me once, when I saw
that the entry for the "Levi Jordan Plantation" said that I and Ken Brown
were the owners of the Levi Jordan Plantation! However, once I got over my
consternation, this was extremely easy to correct -- I just followed the
links on how to correct an entry, and did so. Took about 5 minutes. So I
encourage each of you to do that if you happen to see something that you
know for sure is wrong! (I just checked and my correction is still in
place).
thanks again, everyone,
carol
