Thanks for the kind words, Larry.
One of the biggest problems in archaeology is finding information. Literally thousands or reports (admittedly of varying quality) molder away in various storage facilities, when they could be useful. Even though the internet creates yet another layer of non-refereed literature (from grey to grayish-tan, maybe), it is an incredibly available medium.

Thanks to Bill and his team for taking on this re-analysis of an important collection AND especially for making it available as a free pdf.
We should all be doing this with our completed work.

Hi All,
Below is Bill Lindsey's write-up on a new report we have just completed. Last summer, Bottle Research Group members examined the collection of bottles from a Fort Riley, Kansas, privy. Based on our analysis, we were able to design and test a few new hypotheses that led to new insights. As noted below, the report is free online of available for $15 plus shipping from Lulu.com.
This is NOT part of the Encyclopedia. We have about 30 other irons in the fire at the same time.

Lockhart, Bill, Bill Lindsey, Beau Schriever, and Carol Serr. 2012. New Insights from the Bottles Excavated at the Fort Riley Hospital Privy. Privately published by Bill Lockhart & the Bottle Research Group. This well illustrated work highlights the reanalysis of hundreds of bottles and bottle fragments systematically excavated in 1984 from a large privy at Fort Riley, KS. used from the late 1850s into the 1890s. The reanalysis resulted in the identification of several previously unattributed makers markings as well as provided a significant amount of information to affirm and refine many of the concepts and dating guidelines found on this site.
