Les Verres de Beyrouth et les verres du Haut Empire dans le monde Occidental : Etude archéométrique
Résumé
Samples of two series of glasses discovered in Beirut, the first one dated from the 'early roman period' (1st century BC and 1st century AD), the second one dated from the omeyyad period, have been analysed, as well as samples coming from different Mediterranean sites dated from the 'early roman period'. The results of these analyses show that the glasses of Beirut of both periods have a composition corresponding to that of the compositional group 3, this group gathering the so-called syro-palestinian glasses. However, the composition of glasses of Beirut of early roman period tends to stand out from the late series of group 3. Moreover, the analyses reveal that in Occident during the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD, two types of production of raw glass had supplied the secondary workshops. The first one, majoritary, used, as source of alkali, natron and sands coming probably from the syro-palestinian coast, the second one used, as source of alkali, plant-ashes and sands of still unknown origin.
