This fragment of an earthenware bottle was collected from an Early Ceramic camp site in Montgomery County, with intrusions of Historic period artifacts. The bottle was donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 1975. Though not much of the bottle remains it still has a story to tell. It may have held beer at one time and was manufactured in Lambeth, London, England by Doulton and Company, makers of stonewares and earthenwares.
