Archaeological and Archaeometric Study of the Roman and Late Antique Glass

Original language description

1413 glass fragments were found at the selement of Yurta -Stroyno during the three years of excavation and one year of the surface survey. Most of the retrieved glass was highly fragmented, which is a result of the fragility of the material itself as well as of its deposition in secondary contexts. e glass collection from Yurta -Stroyno includes a wide range of vessels and glass items, such as personal ornaments and windowpanes. For the vessels, high quality glass was used, resulting in thin -walled fragments made of translucent, colourless glass, with a minimum of impurities. The glass was decorated by wheel -cutting, mould blowing and applied threads. During the surface survey, a group of specific glass fragments was found, later identified as waste from glass production. These include threads, drops, moils, heat -melted fragments and fragments of raw glass, counting 81 pieces with total weight of 189 g. The retrieved glass material was first typologically classified and preliminary dated based on comparative data from other settlements, further, the method of XRF analysis was chosen to complement the data needed to interpret the finds. The analysed set of samples represents a selection of different glass objects (89 pcs.), and fragments of the raw glass and the production waste (including production indicators; 28 pcs.).
