Thanks to everyone for posting information about dating nails. I too have been doing some research in that area. But a problem I am having is determining the types of cuts that are on the square nails because of the corrosion. Anybody else having the same issue or having success?
When I was looking at the nails I had the same issue. Some of the nails were so overly rusted that I couldn't distinguish the types. =( It's okay though. I wonder if we are allowed to use some kind of solution? To get the stuff off them...like a jewelry cleaning solution? I don't know if that is a big "no-no" in Archaeology...but it would be nice.
