| Summary: | 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 insights into the earliest glass production. |

Adapted from Tatton-Brown and Andrews 1991: 2 -- Chapter 2 -- 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.

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. -- Chapter 3 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. -- Figure 3-5 Nuzi 1930.82.10 blue translucent vessel fragment (thickness 3 mm) 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 insights into the earliest glass production.
