Abstract
Chemical and archaeological analysis of some British and European prehistoric glasses
Julian Henderson
13 - 22
Discusses transparent blue and opaque yellow glasses from contexts of 4th to 1st century BC (Wetwang Slack cemetery, Meare Lake Village, and Hengistbury Head entrepôt). Different compositions in the blue Wetwang glasses indicate different melts, and a small but specialist industry. The Meare opaque yellow glass is opacified with lead pyroantimonate; other yellows (eg Welwyn gaming pieces) have cubic lead-tin oxide. A lump of tin-opacified yellow glass at Hengistbury is probably imported.
Recent important epigraphic discoveries related to the history of glass-making in the Roman period
Dan Barag
109 - 116
Refers inter alia to the portion of Diocletian's Edict on Prices, found in 1970-2 at Aphrodisias, which shows that glass was sold by weight; this practice was also known in med and postmed times.
Glass from Felmongers, Harlow in Essex: a dated deposit of vessel glass found in an Antonine pit
Jennifer Price
185 - 206
A shallow pit of c AD 160-70 contained thirty pieces from a wide range of vessel forms together with window pane fragments. Among them are several nearly complete vessels known formerly only from small pieces, and a fixed point is now available for dating eighteen forms. The circumstances of deposition are unexplained.
Essai de classification et d'interprétation des vestiges de la production du verre provenant des sites archéologiques antiques et du haut Moyen Age
Maria Dekówna
207 - 220
Sets out a decimal classification for production debris under two broad heads: workshops producing glass from primary raw materials, and workshops making glass objects from brought-in material. The classification covers types of find (eg hearths, wasters); forms (eg slags, melted lumps); surface quality; internal structure; etc. It also assists correct allocation to workshop type if only certain clues are present.
Viking glassworking: the evidence from York
Justine Bayley
245 - 254
On soda-glass making at Coppergate: the soda-glass now appears residual from Roman levels, though the glassmaking/melting hearth is of 9th century. Discussion of soda- and high-lead-glass working, and illustration of crucible fragments.
Medieval industrial glassware in the British Isles
Stephen A Moorhouse
361 - 372
Brings the 1972 article up to date, and discusses documentary and archaeological sources. Problems of interpretation, uses of distillation in med times, etc.
