The ways in which glass was exchanged throughout ancient times is intimately related to its production and is a stepping stone to learning about the economies and interactions of ancient societies. Because of its nature it can be shaped into a variety of forms and as such is found in different archaeological contexts, such as window panes, jewellery, or tableware. This is important because it can inform on how different industries of sections of societies related to each other – both within a cultural region or with foreign societies.

  • The ways in which glass was exchanged throughout ancient times is intimately related to its production and is a stepping stone to learning about the economies and interactions of ancient societies. Because of its nature it can be shaped into a variety of forms and as such is found in different archaeological contexts, such as window panes, jewellery, or tableware. This is important because it can inform on how different industries of sections of societies related to each other – both within a cultural region or with foreign societies. Glass trade is mainly studied by compositional analysis of glass objects creating groups with specific chemical compositions that hopefully allow to differentiate between production centres (both geographically and chronologically). Complications arise from the fact that for long periods of time glass was made following very similar recipes and as such the major elements found do not vary significantly. It is made by a mixture of raw materials which means that different sources of each raw material even for the same production centre further complicate the situation. That it is a material that lends itself well to recycling can only add to this. However, as scientific techniques improve it is becoming increasingly possible to discern some compositional groups, together with other archaeological and textual evidence a picture of glass technology, industry and exchange is starting to emerge.

  • La forma en que se intercambiaba el vidrio a lo largo de la antigüedad está íntimamente relacionada con su producción y es un paso hacia el aprendizaje de las economías e interacciones de las sociedades antiguas. Debido a su naturaleza, puede ser moldeado en una variedad de formas y como tal se encuentra en diferentes contextos arqueológicos, tales como vidrios de ventanas, joyas o vajillas. Esto es importante porque puede informar sobre cómo se relacionan entre sí diferentes industrias de las sociedades, tanto dentro de una región cultural como con sociedades extranjeras. El comercio del vidrio se estudia principalmente mediante el análisis compositivo de los objetos de vidrio, creando grupos con composiciones químicas específicas que se espera que permitan diferenciar entre los centros de producción (tanto geográfica como cronológicamente). Las complicaciones surgen del hecho de que durante largos períodos de tiempo el vidrio se ha fabricado siguiendo procedimientos muy similares y, por lo tanto, los principales elementos encontrados no varían significativamente. Está hecho con una mezcla de materias primas, lo que significa que las diferentes fuentes de cada materia prima, incluso para el mismo centro de producción, complican aún más la situación. El hecho de que se trate de un material que se presta bien al reciclaje solo puede contribuir a ello. Sin embargo, a medida que las técnicas científicas mejoran, cada vez es más posible discernir algunos grupos de composición, junto con otras evidencias arqueológicas y textuales, y empieza a surgir una imagen de la tecnología, la industria y el intercambio del vidrio.
