Glass Fragments from Nimrud of the Eighth to the Sixth Century B.C.

Professor M. E. L. Mallowan, in his account of The Excavations at Nimrud (Kalḫu), 1951 makes four references to glass (two on p. 15, one each on pp. 18 and 19), three of them concerning glass fragments and one to the use of glass as an overlay. Two groups of these fragments were sent by him to Mr. D. B. Harden at the Ashmolean Museum, and Mr. Harden in turn passed them on to me for examination. Subsequently Professor Mallowan handed to me several other fragments. For the purpose of this account the material has been classified in six groups and labelled as specimens A to F. Each specimen may consist of a single fragment or of two or more closely related. Their character, their location when found, and the approximate date when they were deposited are summarised in Table I from information supplied by Professor Mallowan.No inference should be drawn that the glass objects found were themselves of the dates quoted. They may have been contemporary or older.
