Although these artefacts are numerous, they are recovered in highly variable states of preservation, most commonly fragmentary and corroded. Despite this, they remain undervalued by Polish researchers and are frequently omitted from analyses of archaeological assemblages. The article discusses the techno-stylistic features of bottles (among others, overall vessel forms, rim construction, and traces visible on bases), which evolved over the period in question. Reference is made to major foreign studies based on collections of complete and precisely dated artefacts. Against this background, the article highlights opportunities for further research on such material within the Polish context. It also considers areas in which these finds may prove particularly valuable, including the dating of archaeological contexts and the reconstruction of historical glass-making technologies. Examples are drawn from the assemblage recovered at the Tykocin castle site.}, title={Szklane butelki z XVII-XIX w. – potencjał źródeł na przykładzie znalezisk z zamku w Tykocinie}, type={Text}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/262342/299395_I.pdf}, keywords={glass bottles, historical glass, post-medieval glass, glass seals, archaeological sources, analytical methods, Tykocin castle}, }
