| A tin can was recovered from the lower levels of the Test Unit I excavations during 1997 fieldwork. The can is cylindrical with a height of 3.4" (8.6 cm) and diameter of 3" (7.6 cm) and contains a soldered filler hole with vent hole. The top and bottom plates and the body seams are soldered. Due to corrosion it was not possible to determine whether edges were hand or machine cut or whether the seams were lapped or interlocked. The general period of manufacture is 1820 - 1920, although persisting to present in condensed milk cans. |
