Glass, Greece and Rome
On typo‐chronological grounds glass can roughly be divided into several groups. First, small receptacles for precious liquids were made in core‐formed glass in Mesopotamia, Egypt and later, in other places in the Mediterranean (Syro‐Palestine, Cyprus, Italy, Greece), from the second half of the second millennium BCE onwards into the early imperial period, with the most considerable output dating to between the mid‐sixth century and the early to m…
Oppida
In stricto sensu , oppida are – as referred to by Julius Caesar in De bello Gallico – large nucleated settlements.
The Evaporitic Deposits of Lake Fazda (Wadi Natrun, Egypt) and Their Use in Roman Glass Production
In September 2006, a new field survey of Lake Fazda in Wadi Natrun (Egypt) was undertaken to characterize the extant evaporitic deposits and reconstruct how this natural system was exploited in Egyptian and Roman times, especially in connection with glass production. It was found that the minerals currently precipitating in the lake are not immediately useful for the production of glass due to their high sulphate content. However, the large Roman…
Glass Technology in Late Antiquity: A Bibliographic Note
Studies of late antique glass tend to fall into two groups: those which concentrate on the geochemical component; and typological/chronological works. Antikes Glas describes the evolution of glass technology and typology, giving the reader a clear idea of how mankind learned to handle this vitreous material. During the last 15 years, the late antique period has attracted much attention within glass studies. Re-cycling was most probably based on t…
Sr-Nd isotopic analysis of glass from Sagalassos (SW Turkey)
A Ceramic Tool for the Glass‐blower
The existence of a local glass workshop is known at Sagalassos through archaeological and chemical analysis. In test soundings in the monumental city, an enigmatic ceramic cane was found attached to a chunk of green glass. This remarkable object is thought to be a pontil rod, more specifically a mandril. This study illustrates the use of ceramic tools in the glass craft as a readily available and cheap solution to the technical problems a glass‐w…
