Abstract:		 The paper discusses the compositional analysis of Roman colourless glass from three sites in Britain (16--22 Coppergate, York; Blue Boar Lane, Leicester; and Hartshill near Mancetter). The findings suggest that two broad compositional groups can be identified on the basis of the choice of the initial raw materials selected for glass production, in particular the sand. The largest of these groups is inherently different from the naturally coloured, blue--green glasses of the same period, while the other group is compositionally similar. Further subgroups are apparent on the basis of the decolourizers used. These glass groups are explored in the light of the current theories concerning the organization of glass production in the Roman world. Includes
