ROMAN GLASS-MAKING AT COPPERGATE, YORK? ANALYTICAL EVIDENCE FOR THE NATURE OF PRODUCTION*.
Ceramic vessels and associated vitreous debris, excavated at Coppergate, York, UK, 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 finding...

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 α-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. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2003 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
