Other activities
Several other distinct tasks were represented in the trash deposits;
some appear to be related to the camp and others do not. The presence
of medical corps was further supported by the plunger of a syringe.
A bottle featuring the name “Pfeiffer Chemical” would
have contained medicine. Another chemical bottle, embossed “Energine,”
probably contained household cleaning fluid. Three ink bottles,
two dating to the 1930s and one dating to the 1950s, were also recovered;
these must have been discarded by local residents. It is tempting—though
inconclusive—to associate the axe head with camp construction
and maintenance.
