Squarish fragment of window glass, just under 2 mm thick. The surface is lost and the glass is iridescent on both faces. Although the glass is not post-medieval, it is hard to put a precise date on it; it is probably either Roman or medieval.

A flat fragment of pale green glass, possibly Roman as it was found in in the vicinity of previous Roman finds. From either a pane of window glass, or less likely, a vessel. If the glass is Roman then is likely to date to between c122 and c407 AD when the local fort was occupied. The length is 16mm, the width is 8mm, the thickness is 2mm, and the weight is 0.46g.

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small fragment of glass, possibly window glass. The fragment is roughly triangular in form, pale blue/green in colour, containing some air bubbles and with one surface coarser/rougher than the other. The longest (upper?) edge of the fragment is complete and at one end it begins to curve slightly before terminating in old breaks. It measures 14.65mm in length, 26.13mm in width, 1.56mm in thickness, and 0.91g in weight. This is a possible fragment of window glass or similar. Its find spot might indicate a Roman date, although a later date range cannot be ruled out entirely.

Object type: WINDOW GLASS
Broad period: ROMAN
Workflow stage: Published
Cast window fragment, blue/green dating to the Roman period. Cast window glass panes are relatively thick with a characteristic flat, rough underside, a glossy, slightly undulating upper surface, frequently with tooling marks and a rounded edge (Boon 1966). It first appeared around the middle of the first century and became increasingly common on Flavian and later military sites as well as in villas and other domestic buildings. It is probable that window glass was made close to the site rather than being transported over a long distance. It may have been made from re-cycled blue/gree…

Object type: WINDOW GLASS
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Darlington
Workflow stage: Published
A fragment of blown window glass dating to the third or fourth century AD. Straight-sided. Greenish/colourless. Blown window glass was produced from the third century onwards and its colour and quality is consistent with that of fourth century vessels, occurring in greenish and yellowish/green colours with many bubbles and specks, typical of the late Roman period. It was generally blown as a long cylinder which was then opened out to form a double glossy pane (Harden 1961). Buildings occupied during the late third and fourth century often contained both cast and blown fragments
