Stone wall, with a twist...

On a recent archaeological project in upstate NY, I ran into an interesting 20th century stone wall on a farm that was embedded with a variety of objects. I have seen these types of walls before (usually decorated with glass), but not with such a diversity of items. Unfortunately most of the glass bottles seem to have been broken by passing pedestrians (I witnessed some homeless guy from the area throwing debris towards the wall while I was there)...
