Thin sections of brick from multiple locations in New Orleans.
The first set of two letters in the I.D. indicate the type of clay, so “SR” and “HT” indicate soft red and hard tan bricks respectively. The middle two letters are the initials of the building or location where the brick was found. Lastly, the number at the end of the I.D. indicates which brick came from that location. In other
words, a “3” at the end of the sample indicates that that is the third brick out of a sub-group that came from one location.
