This small bottle was recovered during excavations at the 2018 Kansas Archeology Training Program field school at the Kaw Mission. The clear bottle is damaged at the lip and base. It may have once held medicine, either prescribed or patented. The only mark on the bottle is an embossed "1/2." The Mission, now called the Kaw Mission State Historic Site, was built over the winter of 1850 - 1851 by the Methodist Episcopal Church South as a school for boys in the Kaw (or Kansa) tribe. The site was acquired by the state of Kansas in 1951.
