Glass and Glass Production in the Near East during the Iron Age:
Evidence from objects, texts and chemical analysis examines the
history of glass in Iron Age Mesopotamia and neighbouring regions
(1000–539 BCE). This is the first monograph to cover this region
and period comprehensively and in detail and thus fills a
significant gap in glass research. It focusses on identification of
the different types of glass objects and their respective
manufacturing techniques from the the Iron Age period. Both glass
as material and individual glass objects are investigated to answer
questions such as as how raw glass (primary production) and glass
objects (secondary production) were manufactured, how both these
industries were organised, and how widespread glass objects were in
Mesopotamian society in the Iron Age period. Such a comprehensive
picture of glass and its production in the Iron Age can only be
achieved by setting archaeological data in relation to cuneiform
texts, archaeometric analyses and experimental-archaeological
investigations. With regard to the different disciplines
incorporated into this study, an attempt was made to view them
together and to establish connections between these areas.
