The glass assemblage from San Pietro in Castello: Tracing glass technology and innovations in the Venetian lagoon
This study presents the results of a comprehensive archaeometric investigation of a glass assemblage from the early medieval levels of San Pietro in Castello (Olivolo, Venice), a site of strategic importance during the formative stages of the city. A total of 45 samples, including finished vessels, architectural glass, production waste and a crucible, were analysed using SEM-EDS, EMPA, and LA-ICP-MS. As for glassmaking technology, the results rev…
New data and insights on the secondary glass workshop of Comacchio (Italy): MgO contents, steatite crucibles and alternatives to recycling
This study introduces a collection of 33 glass samples, encompassing production indicators (blocks, fluidity tests, drops, cuts and wastes) and finished products (mainly goblets and probably a lamp) dating to the second half of the 7 th century, except for a single more recent specimen (12 th -14 th ). Additionally, a fragment was taken from a crucible bearing a thin layer of glass inside it. This new collection complements the investigation of g…
Shine bright. Vetro e (un po’ di) ceramica invetriata a Venezia e nelle aree limitrofe tra VI e XI secolo
La prima parte dell’intervento riguarda una disamina di vecchi e nuovi dati derivati dalle ricerche condotte dall’Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia con il fine di sintetizzare quanto noto su produzione e consumo degli oggetti in vetro a Venezia e aree limitrofe tra V e XI secolo. Si tratta di un periodo particolarmente avaro di rinvenimenti e quanto emerso dagli scavi di Jesolo, Torcello, San Francesco del Deserto, San Lorenzo d’Ammiana, San Pietro …
Glass trade through the Adriatic Sea: Preliminary report of an ongoing project
A repertoire of 1357 glass samples from Italy, Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia was used to investigate glass trade in the Adriatic Sea. The achieved overview begins in the 1st century and, after a peak of occurrences between the 4th and the 7th century, continues until the 16th with a decreasing number of pieces of evidence. Between the 1st and the 3rd century, Levantine (Roman Mn) and Egyptian (Roman Sb) products coexist in percentages that can be …
The Comacchio Glass Workshop: A Late Seventh-Century Urban Production Site of the North Adriatic
This article is an in-depth review of the production structures found in Comacchio, dating to the middle of the seventh century ad, and the glass-ware, contextualizing both in the early medieval glass production processes. The final part of the article reflects on the role of Comacchio workshops in the Po Valley trading system and on the importance of these workshops for further developments in medieval glass production. For a general framework o…
A Byzantine Shipwreck from Cape Stoba, Mljet, Croatia: An interim report
The Cape Stoba shipwreck is located on the seabed off the island of Mljet in Croatia at a depth of 21–28 m. Following initial investigation in 1975, four seasons of excavation have been carried between 2010 and 2014 by the Department for Underwater Archaeology of the Croatian Conservation Institute, joined by the Department of Studi Umanistici of the Università Ca' Foscari of Venice from 2012. The wreck-site is evidenced by a cargo of nine amphor…
