I am guessing the bottle fragment could be from a Dr. Jayne's Expectorant bottle. I have seen them from the 1840's, but would need more info to date that one.

If that's true I'm jumping for joy to find 1800's stuff. I need to keep digging that pit. Next question. Is it possible that the ham bones and the beef rib bones I found 3 feet down in the pit to be from 1800's?

Don't know about the bones.
Here is a link to the Dr. Jayne's stuff.....

Yes, Dr. D. Jayne's. Not all that rare but these early ones are nice to have.
You are into some real good age there. That looks old enough to have been pontiled.
If that is a privy, you'll eventually get down to the "seed" layer, lol.
