Levantine goblets and Egyptian windows
This is the first scientific study of the mainly 7th century early Byzantine glasses from the prestigious Verulanus Halls in Ephesus. It provides evidence, using electron probe microanalysis, for the use of natron for vessel and window glass. The forty samples of goblets, bowls, lamps and windows consist of 11 Levantine glasses, 4 Roman glasses, 6 HIMT glasses, a single possible Egypt 1 glass and 18 Foy 2.1 glasses. There are single examples of H…
Glass from Manthai, Sri Lanka
Manthai served as a port emporium on the Maritime Silk Roads and an intermediary between the Near and Far Eastern realms for over 1000 years. The 1980–1984 excavations conducted by the late Professor John Carswell yielded material goods supporting the importance of Manthai within this extensive trade network. These included glass, some thought to have been produced locally and some believed to be imported from the Islamic world. To better underst…
Theban Glass Traditions in the 1st Millennium BCE, Greece
Thebes, located in Boeotia in central Greece, is archaeologically and historically attested to have been an important centre ever since the Early Bronze Age. Regularly sustained glass working, testified by numerous finds in burial and settlement contexts, must have taken place since the Mycenaean times. In the current study, 35 samples of glass beads (30) and vessels (5), dating roughly from the 7th to 1st cent. BCE (Archaic to the Hellenistic/Ea…
The composition and provenance of Late Bronze Age vitreous materials from Kefalonia, Greece
In this study, we present the results of the analysis of Late Bronze Age (LBA) vitreous materials from three cemeteries on the island of Kefalonia, Greece (Mazarakata, Metaxata, and Kokkolata-Menegata). A multianalytical approach (EPMA, LA-ICP-MS, MC-ICP-MS [Sr-Nd]) was used to determine the composition and provenance of a group of 14 glass beads, a glass fragment, and a faience bead, all dating to the 14th-11th centuries BCE. Most of the beads w…
A large-scale Sr and Nd isotope baseline for archaeological provenance in Silk Road regions and its application to plant-ash glass
Bioavailable Sr and detrital Nd isotopes are important tools for archaeological provenance. To apply Sr and Nd isotopes for provenance, regional isotope databases and baselines are generally needed. For the vast Silk Road regions of Mesopotamia, Iran, and Central Asia, detailed isotopic distribution patterns essential for determining provenance may not become available in the short term due to the severe deficiency of available data. In the prese…
Politics of Production, Glass Provenance and Social Context on the Early Islamic Silk Roads
Islamic material culture is often either discussed in terms of its typology or its technological characteristics, as defined by scientific analysis, sometimes leading to its provenance. Here these aspects will be discussed in terms of their contrasting social, political and ritual contexts along the Eurasian Silk Roads. The concept of the terrestrial and maritime “Silk Roads” as routes of interaction is considered in terms of its definitions and …
A study of 11th–15th centuries AD glass beads from Mambrui, Kenya
Searching for the earliest use of limestone as a flux in Chinese high-fired ceramic glazes—evidence from Sr isotopic analysis of Chinese northern porcelain
Hunting colours
Mosaic glass tesserae were imported to Dutch sites during the Early Medieval period, probably to address the demand for coloured glass needed in ornamental bead manufacture. Although challenging, because of the uncertainty of the material's context, the Wierum Early Medieval collection represents an extraordinary opportunity, being the most significant find of glass tesserae in the Netherlands to date. The combined use of electron microprobe anal…
Glassmaking of the Qing Dynasty
Full major and minor chemical compositions, including F, B, As, and Cl, have been produced quantitatively using EPMA for glass samples originating from the Qing Dynasty glass collection of the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery and glass samples unearthed at a twelfth- to fourteenth-century Boshan glass production site. In light of this new full-spectrum data, previously published, less complete Qing Dynasty glass chemical compositional data are revi…
The geology of Tianshui‐Qin'an area of the western Loess Plateau and the chemical characteristics of its Neolithic pottery
The difference in the chemical compositions between Neolithic pottery from the eastern and western ends of the northern Chinese Loess Plateau has been known for some time, and a number of possible explanations have been proposed. However, a full understanding of the difference is yet to be achieved. Based on recent geological studies of the Tianshui‐Qin'an area on the western Loess Plateau, the present study establishes a logical connection betwe…

Isotopic investigations of Chinese ceramics
This chapter provides insights into Chinese ceramic technologies of both bodies and glazes as well as provenance by using isotopes applied to a number of case studies. The use of Sr isotopes to investigate Chinese high-fired Celadon wares and blue-and-white Jingdezhen porcelain (Jiangxi province) has revealed a clear distinction associated with the fluxes used in the glazes: plant ash in celadons and limestone in Jingdezhen glazes, something that…
Seventh to eleventh century CE glass from Northern Italy
Previous analytical studies show that most of Northern Italian glass has been heavily recycled and that mixing of natron and plant ash glass was occurring (Verità and Toninato 1990; Verità et al. 2002; Uboldi and Verità 2003; Andreescu-Treadgold and Henderson 2006; Silvestri and Marcante 2011). The re-use of "old Roman glass" has been interpreted as stagnation in glass trade from the primary production areas. However, the reintroduction of plant …

Chemical and strontium isotope analysis of Yaozhou celadon glaze
To produce useful information about the raw materials used in northern Chinese Yaozhou celadon glazes Chinese glazes (especially the source of the calcium‐bearing flux), Sr isotope analysis has been used for the first time. Yaozhou celadon is one of the most important representatives of northern Chinese greenware. The study has enhanced our understanding of the raw material sources used to make Yaozhou glazes dating from the Tang to Northern Song…
A study of the glazing techniques and provenances of Tang sancai glazes using elemental and lead isotope analyses
This study discusses the elemental compositions and lead isotope ratios of Tang sancai glazes unearthed from the Huangpu kiln, Huangye kiln and two Tang sancai tomb sites. The various glazes feature distinct lead isotope ratios and trace element characteristics, which can be interpreted as evidence for the use of different lead ore deposits and siliceous raw materials in the glazes. This is a strong indication that lead isotopes combined with tra…

Radical changes in Islamic glass technology
The chemical analysis of excavated glass fragments from dated archaeological contexts in Raqqa, Syria, has provided a detailed picture of the chemical compositions of artefacts deriving from eighth to ninth and 11th century glassmaking and glassworking activities. Evidence for primary glass production has been found at three excavated sites, of eighth to ninth, 11th and 12th century dates; the first two are discussed here. The 2 km long industria…
Electron Probe Microanalysis of Mixed‐alkali Glasses
European mixed‐alkali glasses are compared with Sayre and Smith's categorisation for ancient glass and with the chemical compositions of other prehistoric and later European glasses. The new categories reported here indicate that a wide range of alkali raw materials was used in the production of glasses found in prehistoric European contexts. At least five major chemical categories of glass are now known to have been used in prehistoric and early…

Electron Microprobe Analysis of 9th-12th Century Islamic Glass from Córdoba, Spain
Twenty-six samples from domestic assemblages of 9th–12th century Córdoba were subjected to electron microprobe analysis. The results reveal two main compositional types. The first, encountered in 13 of the samples, seems to result from the combination of plant ashes with high-impurity sand, and has some contemporary parallels from Syria and Egypt. The second type is a lead–soda–silica glass, encountered in a relatively high proportion of the glas…
The roots of provenance
Glass - one of the most prestigious materials of the early Islamic empire - was traded not only as vessels and bangles but as raw glass blocks. One of its raw materials, plant-ash, was also traded. This means that tracking the production of this precious commodity is especially challenging. The authors show that while chemical composition can relate to vessel type, it is a combination of chemical compositions with strontium and neodymium isotope …
The technology of fifteenth century Turkish tiles
Study of the technology of Turkish tiles and pottery during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries reveals a complex of technical features. The variation, particularly in the technology of tile bodies in the fifteenth century, contrasts with the consistent use of an alkali‐lead frit and a slip layer for the Ottoman pottery of Iznik from about 1475 until the seventeenth century. This paper considers what the development of the ceramic technology in…

Opacifiers in Late Bronze Age glasses
Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) is applied to the study of four samples of opaque glass of Late Bronze Age date. The technique is uniquely capable of identifying compositional heterogeneity at a sub-micron resolution within the crystalline opacifiers dispersed through homogeneous glass matrices. It is shown that this provides crucial information on the possible raw ingredients of the opacifying inclusions used, and has t…

Excavation of a Bronze Age Funerary Cairn at Manor Farm, near Borwick, North Lancashire
The excavation of a large circular dished earthwork near Carnforth, North Lancashire, in 1982, has revealed a substantial Bronze Age funerary monument. The earliest structure was a sub-rectangular enclosure of limestone boulders dated to c. 1740–1640 BC cal. and associated with parts of two poorly preserved inhumation burials lying on the previously cleared ground surface. Both burials were accompanied by typologically early metalwork. The centra…
The Iron Age of ‘Loughey’ and Meare
The archaeology of two Iron Age sites, ‘Loughey’ in County Down, Northern Ireland, and Meare Lake Village, Somerset, is discussed. Changes in the archaeological interpretation of the sites are considered in the light of recent research into Iron Age sites in Britain and Ireland. Consideration of the chemical composition of the glass from ‘Loughey’ and Meare helps to add weight to the existence of suspected links between Ireland and the Continent …

Glass production and Bronze Age Europe
A knowledge of pyrotechnology - the skills of creating and working with high temperatures - attested for later prehistoric Europe first by refined ceramics in the Neolithic, then by copper and bronze metallurgy. But what about the third aspect of pyrotechnology – faience, glass and other vitreous materials? New work reported in this survey shows a place for glass in the European Bronze Age
Techniques of Decoration in the Hall of Barques in the Temple of Sethos I at Abydos
In 1983 and 1988 the Egypt Exploration Society's Abydos Mission recorded the paintings and reliefs in the Hall of Barques of the temple of Sethos I at Abydos. The paintings of Sethos I were executed in 9 main stages, from initial design to the final painting of details. Many corrections can be identified, both small ones in paint in the drafts and larger changes where the surface was recovered in plaster. Before the figures were painted, the figu…

The Glass from Borg, an Early Medieval Chieftain's Farm in Northern Norway
EXCAVATIONS at the farm of Borg on Vestvågøy Island, N. Norway, yielded an imported assemblage of glass. A programme of chemical analyses has augmented typological study, and led to new insights into the manufacture and exchange of glass in early medieval N. W. Europe
Dunmisk and glass-making in Early Christian Ireland
Dunmisk fort (Co. Tyrone), in Northern Ireland, has produced the first evidence recognized in early medieval Europe for the making/modification of glass using primary raw materials. Going beyond the evidence for glass-working - the softening of glass to form and decorate artefacts - a series of sophisticated industrial processes can be identified, and shows that not all glass was imported to Early Christian Ireland
