The expectations were for the higher status collection to have higher levels of calculus and caries, whereas the lower status population was expected to have higher levels of wear, more abscesses and a greater percentage of teeth lost ante-mortem. The data for this study was gathered using...

Flat glass samples were obtained from six individual layers from the Morven Greenhouse excavations by Hunter Research in Princeton, New Jersey. The glass was used to assess the validity of previous window glass thickness dating techniques and to propose a similar dating model for this site and perhaps the broader region. Three conclusions were made because of this analysis; first, glass can have a bigger role in historical archaeology than it currently has, and that glass can tell a large...
