Embossed Glass Bottle

Five olive glass body fragments from an embossed bottle with partial lettering that reads "LYN...". The fragments are possibly from a Lynch & Clarke saratoga mineral water-style bottle, manufactured for Thomas Lynch and John Clarke in New York, circa 1825 to approximately 1833. 

The olive glass body fragment with "LYN . . ." matches the coloration of the four glass fragments from contexts 82 (SC 6A), 85 (SC 4A), 169 (SC 4A), and 182(SC 6A) but do not mend. The small fragments may be from another vessel.
