The authors draw attention to the role of archeology in building the brand of the place and building relations with the recipients of its results. The possibilities of using the effects of archaeological research not only in the scientific sphere, but above all in the broadly understood public sphere were indicated. The article defines the concept of archaeological resources in the context of the researched site at Świętojańska 6-7 in Gdańsk and defines the ways of managing these resources, taking into account the objectives and possibilities of their implementation and presenting the effects of introducing and applying particular activities.

The assemblage comprises 2060 artefacts, representing both complete and fragmentary vessels. The material was analysed in terms of style and technology. The entire assemblage was divided into five functional categories: tableware, storage vessels, pharmaceutical glassware, window glass and cosmetic vessels. Selected specimens also underwent micrographic analysis in order to determine the chemical composition of the glass. The finds were attributed to a range of periods extending from the 16th and 17th centuries to the 20th century. The most numerously represented are storage vessels of the 18th and 19th centuries and window glass.

Furthermore, samples of mortars and plasters were taken. This data category is not sufficiently compiled in architectural or archaeological research for the area of Gdańsk yet. For that reason, the study of these materials was considered an important component of the Wisłoujście Fortress research project. Presented results of interdisciplinary analysis are regarded as an onset of a more detailed architectural study of the defensive complex.

In Gdańsk such a kind of presentations was observed on not numerous specimens. Characterisation of hunting scenes was carried out for 9 specimens coming from archaeological research conducted in the years 2008–2010 in Tartaczna Street and in the years 2011–2012 in Wałowa Street/ Old Shipyard and Podwale Przedmiejskie (City Ramparts). An analysis of the material was carried out in terms of technological traits and preserved decoration. An attention was paid to the occurrence of 3 kinds of representations: a hunter playing the horn and holding a spear followed by a beater leading hunting dogs; two hunters: one on a horse holding a rapier, the other walking and holding a spear; a hunter on a galloping horse. All tiles were covered with green glaze on a layer of engobe. Decoration of the tiles was made with the use of form for impressing a pattern. On the grounds of technological traits, stylistic features and comparative materials the chronology was determined as the 1st half of the 17th century. Later in this article an attempt to determine the genesis of representations of hunting scenes was made, and attention was paid to a fact that this type of representations appeared on medieval tiles known e.g. from Jankowo Dolne, Gniezno, Gdańsk, Malbork and was connected with popular at that time representation of the hunt of the unicorn but also with an increasing ethos of knighthood. Hunting as a kind of decoration was still used in modern period when it got di erent stylistic setting. e presence of this motif on pottery products can be probably connected with customs but also the importance of entertainment that for the nobility was hunting, and on the other hand, a variety of motifs supplied by draughtsmen of that time, including Jost Amman (1539–1951), Virgil Solis (1514–1562), and Antonio Tempesta (1555–1630). In the 17th century Gdańsk, the artistic environment was highly developed, 4 rst of all as a result of a good economic situation of the city and a growing number of highly educated people. Contacts with other centres were favourable for the development of the local centre. Form and contents of the graphics mainly met the needs of individual orders. On the other hand, a role of drawings came down to con4 rmation of the connection between Gdańsk and the Republic. Drawings of such character were created in the reign of the Vasa dynasty and John III Sobieski. At that time, drawings expressed political or sometimes propaganda contents. erefore, drawings served not only to meet individual needs of the ordered but also to manifest political and economic-social views. On the grounds of source material three kinds of hunting have been distinguished, from among which the most popular and recorded on the discussed tiles was hunting pursuit for hounded by a battue game on an open or loosely wooded area. Later in the article comparative material in the form of tiles from other archaeological sites, including these from Tykocin, Malbork, Frombork, Modliszewice, Nowe Miasto and Gdańsk as well as other pottery products including ceramic wall tiles and tin products were discussed.

In addition, cutlery and other utensils made of metal or wood are often obtained in these contexts. As a result of archaeological research at Świętojańska 6-7, an assortment of these products used by residents in the pantry, in the kitchen and on the table was obtained. All products were obtained from the cesspit fills, which allows to interpret them in the context of specific users. The choice of cesspits constituting the continuum of the development of the back-up facilities of one of the tenement houses also allowed to present preliminary conclusions with regard to the changes of the assortment used and the aesthetic preferences of the inhabitants in the period from the 15th to the 19th century.
