Indian Trade Bottles

Near the Indian site of Citico, bottles were found on the southside of the Little Tennessee River. The bottles were used around the time of the mid 1700s. These glass bottles were used as containers to hold traded goods. They would use them to hold medecine, alcohols, or any other sorts of liquids. These bottles are unique to the Appalachian Musuem because it tells us more about the history of native Tennessians and native indians. They are also unique becasue they were discovered in Tennessee.
