The Glassware From Mălăiești Roman Fort and Bath

Abstract

Excavations at Mălăiești Roman Fort and bath (Romania, Prahova County) revealed a small roman fortification and its baths. This paper will attempt to show the significance of the glassware finds through a social-cultural analysis resulting from the way the finds were distributed within the site. Our study describes the glassware fragments found during recent excavations and offers an analysis in the context of the manufacturing processes, spatial distribution, and the circumstances of their discovery as well as the chemical analysis of the typical samples. As an end result, we were able to determine their chronological, morphological, and typological properties.
