I remember speaking with Professor Gilbert of Fordham University. They
had recovered a number of window glass fragments they wanted to
associate with different windows at the Rose Hill excavations. Time
consuming, it would be to try to piece together fragments of glass
from a number of windows as if a large multiple jigsaw puzzle. One
technique I think he said he used, was to hold the pieces under water
on edge and separate them out according to the colors they grouped
into. This led to at least better associated piles of flat window
glass to attempt to piece together.

I was admiring his inherited brick collection too, from around New
York he got from a collector. A wooden library holds the different
brick examples from the different brickyard sources found on different
sites..
