This study presents the methods of processing post-medieval pottery on the example of an assemblage from Lietava Castle. During the first step of the pottery analysis, a descriptive system was developed. Quantification monitored the occurrence of selected features and archaeometric analyses focused on ceramic masses and glazes from castles Lietava and Budatín and also city Žilina. The selected files were examined by principal component analysis, cluster analysis and spatial analysis. On the basis of all obtained information, three chronological periods were created – transitional, early modern and pre-modern. Geographically, the ceramic production of north-western Slovakia finds most analogues in Silesia, eastern Slovakia and eastern Moravia.
