Summary
Ancient glass production in the Southeastern Alps
and Eastern Adriatic
In the southeastern Alpine region, the first known glass finds are from the
Urnfield Culture period. In the Early Iron Age, the area witnessed an ex-
traordinary diversification of glass decoration in colour and form as well
as the appearance of the first glass vessels. New analyses of the materi-
al give evidence about the long-distance trade with glass and glass prod-
ucts from the Mediterranean. The Roman period brought innovations that
developed in glass craft in the Hellenistic and Early Roman period. The
earliest evidence of glassblowing in the Adriatic area is represented by oil
lamps depicting a glass furnace. The best-preserved lamp was found late-
ly in Slovenia in a Roman grave in Križišče near Spodnje Škofije in the vi-
cinity of Koper. Roman glass production developed in Celeia (Celje) and
Poetovio (Ptuj) as early as the end of the 1st or the beginning of the 2nd cen-
tury. Glass production in neighbouring areas is confirmed to have existed
in Gleisdorf (Austria) and at Siscia (Sisak) and Salona (Solin, Dalmatia) in
Croatia. The archaeological finds from Dalmatia consist also of epigraph-
ic evidence. A sarcophagus fragment from the necropolis at Manastirine
in Salona revealed the name of a glassmaker Paschasius or Pascasius, while
the southeastern necropolis yielded a marble mould with the inscription
Miscenius Ampliatus facit Salonas. The latest discoveries in the area are
known from the Roman town of Doclea (Duklja, Montenegro), where three
Late Roman glass furnaces were discovered.
