Üvegleletek egy 12–13. századi település területéről(Orosháza-Bónum, Faluhely)

Abstract: Archaeometric investigations have been carried out on two glass fragments found in a 12th–13th century settlement (near Oroshaza, Hungary), where supposedly Islamic inhabitants lived. The identical texture and the fairly close chemical compositions of the glassy materials indicate that the two pieces might belong to one vessel or the two vessels were made in the same workshop. The glass chemistry (soda plant ash) fits well both contemporary Islamic and Venetian glasses. The form of one of the vessels (biconical, or bottle with body-tubular ring) is a well-known Venetian type, but it was known in the Islamic world as well. The probably origin of the studied glass is that they were made in the Venetian glassmaking centre from Levantine raw glass, but the Islamic provenience cannot be excluded.
