Archeological dig help

We are back to researching a home site in Louisiana occupied by same family from early 1700's to today. Lots of glass we are trying to identify and date. You folks are the best resource we know so hope you don't mind with some help. I'll try to keep questions to a minimum. Here's an example. We have these three pieces pictured. The top and center definitely are part of same bottle but not sure of base. Mold line on top piece stops at lip and lip appears tooled. Base looks similar but seems cruder with ground pontil. See pictures. So, are these two different bottles, what were they and how old? Thanks for bearing with us!

In the screen I see an Alexandria, Louisiana hutch soda shard...LA003, 004, or 005 on www.hutchbook.com. The first bottle you posted is an early cologne with a Native American on it...these were popular in the 1840's.

I would say the liquour tops are a variety of wine ,whiskey, all early i would say 1820-40.

Many thanks on the information. There seem to be a lot of very small scent or perfume bottles. Of course they are structurally stronger and more likely to survive but people did stink before deodorant and plentiful, clean running water. Someone might write a paper....
Lots of embossed shard clues to pursue.

Thanks Brent. This home was also a trading post in late 18th and early 19th century. Lots of drinking while trading. I'll send some pictures tomorrow of examples of the scope of the glass found so far.

Sure will look at anything bottle related.Stuff in the 18th century is pretty rare in my parts. Town was settled in the early 1800's.
