HIGH-LEAD GLASSWORKING AND ALKALI GLASS BEAD MAKING AT 16-22 COPPERGATE AND 22 PICCADILLY, YORK
Author(s): Justine Bayley, Roger Doonan
The glass working evidence all dates to the 10th and 11th centuries AD. Dark green or black high-lead glass was being made in Stamford ware crucibles on or near the adjacent sites. No quantitatively analysed objects had compositions that fully matched that of the glass on the crucibles so the products remain unknown. Blue soda glass of Roman-type composition was being remelted on small discs cut from sherds of Stamford ware and then made into beads.
