Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Ceramic vessels and associated vitreous debris, excavated at Coppergate, York, have been interpreted as the remains of Roman glass-making from the raw materials. This paper reports the results of analysis of this assemblage by XRF, ICPS, XRD, SEM-EDAX and thin-section petrography. These findings suggest that some ceramic vessels, used as crucibles, have been subjected to temperatures up to 1200°C, well above the firing temperatures of the local domestic assemblage from which they were selected. Analysis of quartz-rich debris, intimately mixed with glass in some samples and in others interleaved with glassy phases, indicates partially reacted glass-making raw materials, with -quartz, tridymite and cristoballite phases represented. This could represent evidence either of a failed attempt to frit the raw materials, or a batch that had not fully fused. Variability in the composition of glass at the site is viewed in the light of glass-making technology, and possible interpretations concerning this episode are discussed in the light of the archaeological evidence. | ||||||||||
