Default Surface Area

It is VERY HARD to determine the age of a bottle site until you have actually dug down in the site about a foot or more. If it is a med to large site you can just about bet it will contain older bottles due to the fact that it has been used for years instead of months.
Do a little digging, especially around the middle of the pile and see what you come up with...
