The spectrometric analysis of Iron Age glass beads from Novo Mesto, Slovenia | Spektrometrične analize železnodobnih steklenih jagod iz Novega mesta, Slovenija

Abstract

This paper presents the results of spectrometric analysis of Iron Age glass from Novo Mesto, Lower Carniola, Slovenia. Several different glass types were detected in the assemblage. The results indicate that raw glass was imported to Novo Mesto from eastern Mediterranean centres and corroborate the existence of long-distance trade during the first millennium BCE.
