Glazed bricks applied as a new form of colourful and glossy
architectural decor first started to appear in the early Iron Age
on monumental buildings of the Ancient Near East. It surely
impressed the spectators then as it does the museum visitors today.
Glazed Brick Decoration in the Ancient Near East comprises the
proceedings of a workshop held at the 11th International Congress
of the Archaeology of the Ancient Near East (ICAANE) at Munich in
April 2018, organised by the editors. Over the last decade
excavations have supplied new evidence from glazed bricks that once
decorated the facades of the Ancient Near East's public buildings
during the Iron Age (1000-539 BC) and especially significant
progress has been achieved from revived work on glazed bricks
excavated more than a century ago which today are kept in various
museum collections worldwide. Since the latest summarising works on
Ancient Near Eastern glazed architectural decors have been
published several decades ago and in the meantime considerable
insight into the subject has been gained, this volume aims to
provide an updated overview of the development of glazed bricks and
of the scientific research on the Iron Age glazes. Furthermore, it
presents the on-going research on this topic and new insights into
glazed bricks from Ashur, Nimrud, Khorsabad, and Babylon.
