June Hill, Chiddingfold, Godalming, Surrey : Examination of Glassworking Debris
Author(s): David Dungworth
Samples of glass and glassworking waste from an early post-medieval Wealden glasshouse were analysed to determine their chemical composition. The samples were recovered along with late 16th- and early 17th-century pottery. The glass from this site has a composition which is intermediate between medieval forest glass and early post-medieval high-lime low-alkali glass. The glass production represents an important technological transition.
