“…HIMT glasses can be further divided into subcategories HIMTa and HIMTb based on their varying Fe 2 O 3 /TiO 2 and Fe 2 O 3 /Al 2 O 3 ratios (Ceglia et al . , ) as well as different barium, cerium and europium patterns (Freestone et al . ) (Figs (a) and 3 (b)).…”

“…Given the overlap of the two groups at low iron concentrations, a second criterion was applied, whereby all samples with Fe 2 O 3 < 2% were attributed to HIMTa.

The Supply of Glass at Portus Ilicitanus (Alicante, Spain): A Meta‐Analysis of HIMT Glasses

et al. 2018

Portus Ilicitanus (Picola, Alicante) was the main sea harbour of the Roman Colonia Iulia Ilici Augusta and as such played a crucial role in the supply of fundamental commodities to the Iberian Peninsula. Excavations yielded large quantities of glass in fourth‐ and early fifth‐century contexts. Elemental analysis of 60 samples by laser ablation – inductively coupled plasma – mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS) confirmed that the glasses were imported from the Eastern Mediterranean. A majority of the glasses correspond to the HIMTa primary production group, which originates from Egypt. The statistical evaluation of published data of 589 HIMT glasses further revealed differential distribution patterns of the HIMTa and HIMTb subtypes between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, suggesting chronological trends that are linked to wider geopolitical changes. This demonstrates the need for systematic large‐scale approaches to identify supply patterns and possible factors underlying geographical differences and/or chronological developments.

“…5). Esta composición permite situarlo dentro de la serie Foy 2 con amplia difusión por todo el Mediterráneo a la que se supone un origen egipcio (Ceglia et al, 2017;Foy et al, 2003). Se trata de una familia de vidrios datada entre los siglos VI y VII (Foy et al, 2003;Schibille et al, 2016;, aunque también se ha identificado en algunos depósitos del siglo VIII donde ha sido considerado como material residual (Foy et al, 2003).…”

Se presentan por primera vez para la Península Ibérica los resultados del análisis químico de dos objetos de vidrio de cronología emiral temprana procedentes del yacimiento de Cabezo Pardo (San Isidro, Alicante). El examen por LA-ICP-MS de su composición indica que se trata de vidrios sódico-cálcicos fabricados con natrón como fundente. Sus características permiten encuadrarlos en dos de los grupos más difundidos en la antigüedad tardía: HIMT y Foy 2. El primer caso, una lámpara, podría ser resultado de una perduración del uso de un objeto antiguo a lo largo del tiempo tal vez relacionado con las poblaciones mozárabes y/o muladíes que habitaron el yacimiento. El segundo objeto, posiblemente una botella, fue elaborado a partir de vidrio reciclado. Sus características permiten encuadrarlo dentro del subgrupo Foy 2.2. Una composición poco frecuente también documentada en Francia e Italia cuya cronología suele situarse entre la segunda mitad del siglo VII y finales del siglo VIII d.C.

Rare Alkali Elements as Markers of Local Glass Working in Medieval Tolmo de Minateda (Spain)

Analytical data of Roman and early Islamic glass established several primary glass production groups linked to glassmaking centres in the Levant and in Egypt. In contrast, the activities of secondary glass workshops are largely invisible in the compositional fingerprint of first millennium glass. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) of 261 glass finds from the Visigothic settlement of Tolmo de Minateda (Spain) revealed a site-specific contamination pattern due to secondary glass processing and recycling, namely the enrichment of the glass batch by a unique combination of rare alkali elements (Li, K, Rb, Cs). With a median of 21 ppm, Li is particularly distinctive. Elevated lithium contents (Li > 30 ppm) are also one of the characteristic features of Iberian plant ash glass from the Islamic period. The earliest known examples of this type of glass were found among the ninth-century remains from Tolmo.
