Buried Village, vintage bottles

TY for your comments. The Buried village has changed alot and nowdays much of the excavated sites are under cover to protect them from the elements. The walkway is much improved. A lot of the items have been brought inside to a museum that you walk through before doing the walk.

I havent been to the Buried Village for many years, but it was a very eerie place to be. Nice photo of the bottles.

I have many,many bottles and canning jars and some are very old others are just for thier interesting shapes and colors. Probably when im gone they will all be thrown out and used for landfill.LOL Carol

These bottles were often on open display but nowdays even NZ has been caught up in the 'think I might have that' syndrome. The lighting they were displayed under really accentuated them as well. Thank you for your comments and do you still collect bottles and do you have any unusual ones. I know my sons tried to collect them years ago but we ran out of room in the house then stupidly I threw them out when they had run out of interest in collecting and now the bottles are under about 35ft of dirt never to see the light of day again.
