Abstract

From 1987 through 1989, archaeological excavations have been conducted at the Inge-va estate in Perth, Ontario under the auspices of the Ontario Heritage Foundation. Inge-va was built in 1823 and represents one of the finest Neo-Classical Georgian houses in eastern Ontario. While only occupied by three families since its construction, the archaeological work has focused on the Radenhurst family and in particular, the excavation of an abandoned privy pit deposit which uncovered over 15,000 artifacts in 1988. This paper will present a preliminary analysis of the large number of container glass and table glass objects recovered from. the privy excavation. Incorporating this information into the existing data model will improve our ability to draw inferences about the complex inter-relationships of the behaviour patterns and events which lead to the creation of this unique archaeological. collection.
