Modern-period Glass Vessels from an Urban Plot with a Presumed Inn at the Market Square in Radom

Summary/Abstract: In the article, a modern-period collection of glass material discovered during the archaeological excavations carried out on a plot at the frontage of the market square in Radom have been presented. A detailed study of finds classified as glass tableware was performed. Distinctive features of different forms of vessels, mainly those used for drinking, have been presented with references to analogous finds from archaeological excavations in Poland. The results of an analysis of chemical composition of glass for selected artefacts were discussed and the history of glassmaking in the region was outlined. The artefacts have been identified as a part of equipment of a modern-period inn and they were interpreted against a broader historical background, including the history of the city and the knowledge on the functioning of inns on Polish lands in the modern-period. The presented article is the first published study of a glass collection that was discovered at an archaeological site with an inn.
