| Popis: | Medieval Archaeology, 22, 1-24 Many new discoveries made in the last twenty years have increased knowledge of mid- and late Saxon glass. For the early period a few new shapes have been discovered. Quantities of window glass have come from Monkwearmouth and Jarrow, and from churches like Escomb, while in the late AS period glass has also come from settlements. A gap follows before glass reappears, this time of 'Byzantine' and 'Syro-Frankish' types. Italian glass of 13th/14th century is found at Boston, Southampton, and Nottingham and includes fine soda glass; forest (potash) glass of the same period comes from both the Continent and England. Important advances were also made by the complete excavation of the c 1330 glasshouse at Blunden's Wood. |
