Abstract Details

2006, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences : Classics.
This thesis seeks to discover whether the glass assemblage excavated from the Yasmina Necropolis at Carthage contains evidence of glass-working. A discussion of the history of Carthage, the location of craft-working areas within the layout of the city, and the site history of the Yasmina Necropolis provide background evidence to contextualize the excavated glass fragments. A survey of ancient epigraphic, literary, and iconographic sources examines in detail the surviving non-archaeological evidence for glass-working in antiquity. A short survey of archaeological evidence provides comparanda for the Yasmina Necropolis glass assemblage. Finally, a detailed discussion of some fragments of the assemblage points out vessels that may have originally been deposited in graves at the cemetery. The remainder of the glass was probably found in secondary contexts. The glass assemblage includes about 27 fragments that probably relate to the production of glass in Carthage, although the production site has not yet been located.
