Artifacts from the past, unearthed

Kit Cone, who took this photo, writes:

Some of the many very old bottles found by Jim Alden in one of the piles of dirt dug up in preparation for the construction. These bottles were just sticking out of the pile. Very likely a search would disclose hundreds more! Many are old milk bottles from local dairies, and some appear to have held liquor, but we don't yet know why they were buried on the church grounds.
