Among the archaeological materials recovered from urban contexts, the glass is one of the most common, wich shows the growing consumption of this kind of articles since final XIXth century. This progress can be explained because of the massification in the production of the glass artifacts of foreign origin, besides of the incipient development of the local industry at that time. In this paper we apply a methodology of analysis for vitreous artifacts, as well as we offer some proposals for the interpretative approach to the cultural formation processes. This will be achieved from de study of recovered materials from two sites of the city of Buenos Aires: "Rodríguez Visillac" and "Corralón de Floresta", wich represent two differential contexts of disposal.
