Abstract
Archaeological investigations in the Nootkan village of Yuquot yielded a small collection of glassware. It consists of tableware; window glass; mirrors; lighting fixtures; marbles; wine, spirits, and beer bottles; carbonated beverage bottles; perfume and cosmetic containters; druggists' bottles; food preservation jars; and various unidentified objects. Most of the approximately 200 objects recovered were fragmentary. There were three examples of 18th-century glass and the remainder dates from about 1870 to the present. Dating of the glass was based on the manufacturing date, considering technological advances in the glass industry and periods of popularity for certain products. The identified pressed glass patterns and containers were manufactured in Canada and the United States. No European glassware other than the 18th-century material was identified.
