EVIDENCE FOR ENAMELLING FROM ELMS FARM, HEYBRIDGE, ESSEX
Author(s): Justine Bayley
A strip of opaque red glass was found in a pit dated to the mid-late 1st century AD. Analysis showed it had a composition typical of bright 'sealing-wax' red Roman enamels. It is evidence that enamelling was probably practised at Heybridge in the 1st century. The types of objects decorated in this way are not known; none of the four hairpins with inlaid heads (Cool type 21) from the site contained glass of this type.
