Folks
The interest in Ann Gugler's Australian bottle CD (thanks Bill
Lockhart!), especially amongst the American historical community
prompts me to ask questions that have niggled me often, especially when
I'm surfing the web looking for information about bottles I've
excavated here in Australia because often the information I require
appears on non-Australian (web)sites.
How relevant is a study of bottles in one country to those found in
another? Was it common that the same sorts of bottles were distributed
worldwide? I can see possible links between items found in Australia
and South Africa because so much of what came here (Aust.) went through
Capetown first (sheep are the classic example), but can similar sorts
of links between countries be found for items excavated in North
America?
Would there be a closer link between Commonwealth countries? Would the
same bottles be more readily found in say Canada and Australia, than in
the United States and Australia?
Sincerely
GrahamK
