(The manufacture of building materials became fairly standardized by the late 19th century.) The type of nails in the frame, for example—wrought, cut, or wire—direct the fastener-educated to a particular period. A mansard roof, for example, may be of the Second Empire style of the late 19th-century, while a hip roof might indicate a Queen Anne house built a decade later.

The RATE group has gathered evidence that at some time in
history nuclear decay was greatly accelerated. The RATE team selected two locations to collect rock samples to conduct analyses using multiple radioisotope dating methods. Both sites are understood by geologists to date from the Precambrian (supposedly 541–4,600 million years ago). The two sites chosen were the Beartooth Mountains of northwest Wyoming near Yellowstone National Park, and the Bass Rapids sill in the central portion of Arizona’s Grand Canyon. All rock samples (whole rock and separate minerals within the rock) were analyzed using four radioisotope methods.

purchased woolen fabrics. Sending this quilt to an

5″. We have early vegetable dyed black woolens as well as home dyed
dark Khaki color woolens. Centers of each block have perfectly hand appliqued six leaf

the applique and quilting are all executed by hand, the blocks are
joined by an early treadle machine. The use of a sewing machine at this
time denotes a family of comfortable means. There is an 8″ border which includes a separately applied 1/2″ binding.
