The book examines why and how this unique material was invented some 4,500 years ago and considers the ritual, social, economic and political contexts of its development. It also provides an in-depth consideration of glass as a material, the raw materials used to make it, and its wide range of chemical compositions in both the East and the West from its invention to the seventeenth century AD. Julian Henderson focuses on three contrasting archaeological and scientific case studies: Late Bronze Age glass, late Hellenistic-early Roman glass, and Islamic glass in the Middle East. He considers in detail the provenances of ancient glass using scientific techniques and discusses a range of vessels and their uses in ancient societies. 606 $aGlass manufacture$xHistory 607 $aGlassware, Ancient 607 $aGlassware, Classical 615 0$aGlass manufacture$xHistory. 676 $a748.2009/01 700 $aHenderson$b Julian$f1953-$068178 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462837903321 996 $aAncient glass$92444825 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00749nam 2200253 450 001 996649671403316 005 20250401134344.0 100 $a20250401d1994----km y0itay5003 ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $aa 00 y 200 1 $aAtlante storico dell'idea europea della cittą ideale$fVirgilio Vercelloni 210 $aMilano$cJaca Book$d1994 215 $a207 p.$cill.$d31 cm 606 0 $aCittą ideale$2BNCF 676 $a321.07 700 1$aVERCELLONI,$bVirgilio$010447 801 0$aIT$bcba$gREICAT 912 $a996649671403316 951 $aXII.2.B. 616 (VII G 236)$b118519 L.M.$cXII.2.$d536127 959 $aBK 969 $aUMA 996 $aAtlante storico dell'idea europea della cittą ideale$9351255 997 $aUNISA
