Glass Finds in Pre-roman Dacia From the 2nd Century BC to the 1st Century Ad. The Glass Vessels Discovered in the Settlement of Cârlomănești, Buzău County

Summary/Abstract: The glass production in the areas of the Mediterranean basin, during the Hellenistic and the Early Roman Imperial periods experienced an unprecedented effervescence, regarding the manufacturing techniques, the raw materials, the specific vessel forms and their distribution, which radiated beyond the boundaries of the "civilized world". Glassware found in the Geto-Dacian sites from the northern Danube area is a testimony to this matter. The pieces found in the site from Carlomanesti, Buzau County, are not numerous, but they draw attention due to the variety of techniques in which they were made (core-made, cast-made, free blown), the materials from which they were made, and their use. The following of the contexts of discovery and distribution of vessels in the stratigraphy of the settlement raises challenging questions related to the pace of imports, the status, and the internal chronology of the settlement from Carlomanesti.
