Excavations for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Illinois, were conducted in the 2000s by Fever River Research to comply with federal Sect. 106 laws. The research yielded an extensive assemblage of domestic and commercial archaeological features. This case study focuses on Features 11 and 35 in the East Parking excavation block that yielded five bottles of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. Advertisements for the syrup showcased a radiant mother and her children and this imagery plays into nineteenth-century ideas concerning domesticity and motherhood; therefore, I consider the presence of multiple bottles of syrup recovered from a temporally well-defined stratigraphic range to explore the politics of gender, consumer choices, and advertising.

2000 年代，Fever River Research 为伊利诺伊州斯普林菲尔德的亚伯拉罕·林肯总统图书馆和博物馆进行了挖掘工作，以符合联邦教派的要求。106 条法律。该研究产生了对国内和商业考古特征的广泛组合。本案例研究重点关注 East Parking 挖掘区的特征 11 和 35，该挖掘区产出了五瓶温斯洛夫人的舒缓糖浆。糖浆的广告展示了一位容光焕发的母亲和她的孩子，这一形象融入了 19 世纪关于家庭生活和母性的观念；因此，我考虑从时间上明确定义的地层范围中回收的多瓶糖浆的存在，以探索性别政治、消费者选择和广告。
