This book presents a much-needed review of commercial closures for
bottles and jars used in America prior to World War II.
Archaeological attention to commercial closures has been rather
limited. This is surprising given that data derived from bottles
and jars pertain to a wide range of studies, including
chronological control, trade, site functions, and methods of
manufacture. Closures are an integral part of these studies,
becoming particularly important after a spectacular variety of
metal and glass caps in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. This volume-provides a comprehensive review, including
detailed closure definitions, as well as glass finishes;-discusses
the history of the development and impact of the hermetic seal in
commercial closures;-will appeal to students, professionals, and
collectors studying this common historic artifact class.
