Description
AMEC Analysis: Years (Min): 1890 Years (Max): 1930 Comments: This artifact is the top of a wooden barrel made of 5 pine strips fastened together with 3/8-inch dowels and glue. If complete, the barrel would be 12 inches in diameter. It has a 1 3/4-inch pine cork and a single round-headed nail still attached. One wood and metal barrel lid. Three separate wood pieces and one metal piece. The two smaller wooden fragments cross mend around the cork. The larger fragment does not match in color and size with the other two. Small white discolorations, possibly mold or salt, are present on interior and exterior of lid, but not internal wooden surfaces. Metal fragment is heavily corroded and fragile. L. Penttila 3/1/2010
