I am working on a cistern accidently discovered during a
construction project.  The cistern was extremely full with a variety of
materials, the most of which is bottle glass.  The cistern dates to 1890
to 1910.  What I am looking for is other research done on the possible
social and behavioral implications of these bottles.  Most are pharmacy
and patent medicine bottles.  I have information on the bottles and their
contents, but am having trouble finding info on the implications of such
"medicines".  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
