The first thousand years of glass-making in the ancient Near East compositional analyses of late Bronze and Iron Age glasses.
This volume explores glass composition and production from the mid-second to mid-first millennia BC, the first thousand years of glass-making. Multi-element analyses of 132 glasses from Pella in Jordan, and Nuzi and Nimrud in Iraq (ancient Mesopotamia) produce new and important data that provide ins...

- Figure 2-1 Scanning electron micrograph of Pella sample 188, a turquoise opaque bead. Dark grey areas are weathered glass which form along microscopic cracks in the glass. White grains are the opacifying compound calcium antimonate. The scale bar represe
- Figure 2-4 Scanning electron micrograph of Pella sample 55, a dark green glass, showing streams of small bubbles, several larger individual bubbles along the lower region, and four large dark grey silica grains which are incompletely melted and exhibit d
- Figure 2-5 Light micrograph of Pella sample 199 from a turquoise bead opacified with calcium antimonate. Streaks of less well opacified glass due to incomplete mixing or formation of the opacifier can be seen. Sample size is ~ 2.5 mm across.
- Figure 2-6 Light micrograph Pella 189 from a blue translucent bead. Bubbles are dispersed throughout the glass. Sample size is ~ 3mm across.
- Figure 2-7 Light micrograph of Nimrud glass samples, cobalt wire (centre top) with a standard reference glass on either side, set in an epoxy resin stub, 25mm in diameter, and polished for SEM-EDS analysis.
- Figure 2-8 Photograph of Nuzi glass samples with standard reference glass (centre) set in a pre-prepared epoxy resin stub, 20mm in diameter, and polished for EPMA analysis.

- Figure 3-1 Satellite map showing location of Nuzi between the Tigris River and the River Zab, in ancient Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), adapted from Google Earth.
- Figure 3-2 Plan of city of Nuzi, adapted from Starr (1939), Plan 2, highlighting the size and position of the Temple and Palace, where most of the glass was found.
- Figure 3-3 Plan of Temple A and immediate environs. Most of the glass was found in G29 and G50. Adapted from Starr (1939), Plan 13.
