Abstract
While excavating the Archbishop garden which lays at the area of Roman forum in Zadar we have found the medieval trash dump as a closed unit in an ancient stone well.
Among the waste of various kinds such as ashes, sea shells, stones and crushed medieval ceramics, there were some glass fragments. These pieces of glass, found at the depht of some 180-230 cm from the pavement level of the ancient forum, have given enough elements in reconstructing the shape and the use of that glass object.
Our finding belongs to the type of a conieal body decorated with large almond -shaped applications turning upward. The slightly conical body ends into a short neeked rim while the transition between the rim and the body is being encircled by a horizontally applied glass thread. Such a glass vessel tapers to a concave bottom which is ending in a girl and-like shape.
Considering the quality it must be noted that it is an average bluish-green colored glass with the visible traces of streching.
