    A Look at the Possible Origins of Glassware at Liberty Hall between 1970 and 1830: A Hypothesis of the South Jersey-type Glass Factory Arthur S. Cooper Archeology 377 Dr. McDaniel May 27, 1978 Pledged in Full: Arthur S. Cooper Introduction The overall purpose of this paper is to provide an indepth look at the possible origin of glass artifacts that have been found by intensive extensive at the Liberty Hall site. It is also to provide, for an individual who possesses more tech­ nology and expertise than myself in dating ~nd identifying glassware artifacts, some information that will prove helpful ' ' in tracing the origin of the glassware used by the individuals who inhabited the area and the manufacturer of that tableware. Also, I hope that this paper will shed some light onto the shape, size, color, and composition of the glassware of the \ I ·,1 period between 1730 and 1830. It must be kept in mind that I am not making a definitive statement that the glassware used here during the eighteenth century was of a particular manufacturer or of a specific origin, but that I am presenting a hypothesis as to its possi­ • an accurate ble origin. It is virtually impossible to giv~/answer to the question as to who or when a certain glass fragment or pattern was made. For this reason, and the fact that very little glassware has been collected in good enough condition before the 1800's, one can only approximate and hypothesize about its origin and maker. Therefore, I shall attempt to put forth the evidence of major manufacturers in America at this time, and give my own educated guess, after reading and researching the as to where this glass may have come from and the types of 2.
