Glass. A fragment of congealed colourless translucent glass melt; perhaps cullet for reworking. This might equally be a bottle which has been in a very hot part of a bonfire. A recent origin is most likely. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Modern, 43-1950 Length: 53.4mm, Width: 29.5mm, Thickness: 16.2mm, Weight: 27.70gms

Glass vessel fragment. A small concavo-convex sherd from a globular vessel of translucent cobalt blue glass with numerous bubbles to length 2.5mm trapped in the metal. Circumferential lines and a rubbed band towards one edge suggest the turning of a vessel while it was being blown. The good preservation and bubbled metal may together point to a Roman vessel or a glass made according to a Roman soda glass recipe, a skill which lasted into Middle Saxon times but which was then lost until the post-medieval period. The finder kindly notes the bubbled and translucent character of the glass …

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Glass working waste. A melted drop of bright cobalt blue translucent glass, of teardrop form broken off at a narrow trail, and with an uneven surface on opposed sides perhaps arising from its being gripped by tongs. The surface is entirely without iridescence, which points to a recipe using soda rather than potash, of Roman to Early Medieval date, while there is scant indication of bubbles trapped in the metal. The reduction of glass to an entirely fluid state is unlikely to have come about by accident. Beads of this tint were favoured from the Late Iron Age to the end of the Viking p…

Glass working waste. A rounded shiny pebble, but too light in weight to be stone, and of a mottled off-white to greenish specked hue. A pair of spurs which are broken are opaque, but the object also has a rough patch of colourless metal [i.e. glass] attached. This is spillage from glass working; the temperatures required to reduce glass to an entirely fluid state being unlikely to arise accidentally. The lack of iridescence may suggest a soda glass recipe rather than one using potash, which is a trait of Roman and Early Medieval glasses. Suggested date: Unknown, 43-1000. Length: 22…

Glass bead. Barrel-shaped glass bead of an indeterminate opaque grey-green tint, with a central stringing hole of diameter 3.5mm. This was probably made using an iron rod as a former, to assure an accessible stringing hole. The form and colour - insofar as the latter may be discerned - would be usual in either a later Roman or Early Anglo-Saxon context, worn as part of a necklace or decorative swag. Suggested date: Unknown, 200-700. Diameter: 8.9mm, Height: 6.1mm, Weight: 1.29gms.

Glass bead. Moulded translucent mid blue annular bead. The bead was probably hand made using a rod as a former; a central moulded aperture is 4.5mm in diameter. The short annular form of blue bead was long-lived, and appears in later Iron Age graves at Garton and Wetwang Slack, East Riding of Yorkshire, though the majority may be of Early Anglo-Saxon date in Lincolnshire; they fall into Guido's (1978, page 65) Group 6iv. Suggested date: Unknown, Late Iron Age to Early Medieval, 100 BC- AD 700. Diameter: 8.3mm, Thickness: 3.6mm, Weight: 0.28gms.

Translucent yellow glass bead. Annular bead with central moulded aperture of diameter 3.2mm. On one surface the aperture is flush with the surface, but on the other it is surrounded by a lightly countersunk area exhibiting a spiral pattern probably produced as molten glass was wound round a rod. Beads of this form and tint originated in the Late Iron Age, were uncommon in Roman times outside native contexts, and were revived along with the popularity of amber beads in the Anglo-Saxon period, though the latter were so common as to make the manufacture of similar beads in glass largely …

Translucent dark blue glass bead. Annular bead of D section with wide moulded central aperture of diameter 5.5mm. Though corresponding to Margaret Guido's Group 6iv beads which date from the 6th to 8th centuries AD, such beads also occur in Iron Age contexts. Part of a group which may indicate the disturbance of furnished burials of Later Roman or Early Anglo-Saxon date. Suggested date: Unknown, Late Iron Age to Early Medieval, 300 BC-AD800.

White (i.e. clear) Glass of a greenish tint, vessel fragment. Punt from a small tubular vessel, with a few tiny bubbles trapped in the metal. The material is in good condition without iridescence, a feature which might place it either in the Roman or Post-Medieval to Modern periods, but not in the Medieval period, as durable soda glass was made at the earlier and later dates but not between them. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Modern, 40-1900. Diameter: 21.5mm, Height (wall): 11.7mm, Thickness (wall): circa 2.3mm, Weight: 3.69gms.

Translucent dark blue glass bead. Annular bead with moulded aperture of diameter 4.3mm. A small pit or flaw appears at one point on the circumference. Such beads originate in the Late Iron Age, and remained popular through the Roman and Early Anglo-Saxon periods; blue annulars were the most common type of bead at Castledyke South, North Lincolnshire.

White (clear) glass of green-blue tint bottle base. Shard from the base of a hand blown glass vessel with punt; part of an inner ring of glass adheres to the edge of the punt, possibly as a flaw corrected during manufacture. The base of the vessel is worn, indicating its prolonged use. This could be either a Roman or a Post-Medieval vessel, as the recipes for soda glass used in both periods were similar, and both could produce very durable glass. Suggested date: Unknown, 43-1900. Diameter: 28.5mm, Height (punt): 10.5mm, Thickness (wall): 3.3mm, Weight: 6.57gms.

Turquoise tinted clear glass Vessel fragment. Shard from the mould blown edge of a possibly rectangular vessel.possibly with a curving rib raised in relief on one surface. Numerous tiny round bubbles are trapped in the metal. There is light crazing on one external surface but no trace of iridescence. This may either be Roman or recent, but is probably not Medieval, as the potash glass of that period was especially susceptible to decay. Suggested date: Unknown, Roman to Modern, 40-1900.

Glass, white (i.e. clear, but with a greenish tint) Possible Vessel fragment. Melted glass, with an angular corner which might suggest this comes from the base of a vessel, or from the corner of a thick pane. As there is no iridescence, this may either be a fragment of Roman soda glass or glass of much later date, but is unlikely to be Medieval or Early Post-Medieval potash glass. It is also uncertain whether this may represent glassworking, or simply the incorporation of glass shards in a bonfire. Date: Unknown, from Roman to Modern, 40-2000. Thickness: 4.3mm, Weight: 2.82gms.
