COOK Under the Direction of Jeffrey B. Glover, PhD ABSTRACT From the excavation of Atlanta's first municipal dumps, a collection of the city’s oldest and most popular medicines has been analyzed. The process of identifying and exploring the stories behind the medicinal vessels of the Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) archaeological collection has led to several paths of inquiry. One such avenue is a look at local manufacturers, their impact, and their products. Focused on embossed glass bottles from 1860-1920 this thesis investigates the roles of medicinal bottles as symbolic for Atlanta’s Gilded Age. I gathered detailed information on nearly 100 products represented by 222 vessels. These artifacts are derived from three sites unearthed during the MARTA excavations conducted by Georgia State University archaeologists during the late-1970s.

    NEXT STEPS DECATUR ANNUAL REPORT 2019 City of Decatur Clear zone JULY-AUGUST 2019 Volume 30 • Number 1 OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE CITY OF DECATUR, GEORGIA FNew ocuLiving Walls s Mural on North Candler Street n June Living Walls unveiled its newest mural, titled Monuments: Our Immigrant Mothers, by artist Yehimi Cambron. The mural is at 302 E. Howard IAve. at the corner of N. Candler and E. Howard. The project is a part of Living Walls’ annual Laura Patria Calle Grant, which supports public art projects on the topics of social equality, immigrants’ rights, feminism, LGBTQ rights and cultural diversity. Monuments: Our Immigrant Mothers aims to bring representa- tion to the mothers who crossed borders to give their immigrant children a better life. The mural’s message seeks to inspire a conver- sation about immigrant rights in our country. The artist, Yehimi Cambron, said the project is a culmination of her personal experience as an undocumented immigrant with DACA, of being the daughter of undocumented parents, and of the countless migration stories her students have shared with her in the classroom through their projects. The mural depicts three portraits of immigrant mothers sur- rounded by the imagery of desert plants and their colorful flowers, to represent the contrast of her strength and vulnerability and how they inform one another. The imagery also alludes to her family’s migration journey in an effort to shift an often-criminalized narra- tive into one of empowerment. The monarch butterflies surrounding each mother represent their children. The monarch butterfly is a reflection of the migration journey and a symbol of the resilience of their community.
