Artifact Overview

Pine sap (called resin) was the raw ingredient for numerous industrial products including turpentine and rosin. The process started with physically demanding labor in long-leaf pine forests, as depicted in this stereograph. Individuals "hacked" away bark to channel the sap into a container. Others strained it and stored it in barrels for shipment to market.
