ROMAN GLASS FROM THE SITE OF ŠTRBINCI NEAR ĐAKOVO IN ITS SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTEXT
Sažetak
So far a total of 174 skeletal inhumations of a cemetery dating from the 200 half of the 4th and the l'' half of the S'h centuries have been recovered at the site of Štrbinci near Đakovo, the hypothesised location of the Roman small town of Certissia. In spite of the poor preservation of the graves, a considerable amount of glass vessels and jewellery items have been recovered (glasses, jugs, bottles, toilet bottles, dishes and beads). Quite a few vessels were heavily damaged or completely crushed, while a smaller number were suitable for an ideal reconstruction
and restoration. In a number of examples, it was not possible to establish either the shape of the vessel(s) or even the number of them to a grave. On the other hand, the majority of the vessels were preserved enough to allow the
class and type to be established, rendering them suitable for study, including a meaningful statistical analysis. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it is to bring selected statistical data on the gender-driven usage of various groups of glass vessels as a contribution toward a better understanding of the social context of the role of glass in funerary rituals. Secondly, it is to give an overview and comparison of the glass fabrics and forms found at Štrbinci, as a contribution to the still inadequate knowledge of the production of and trade in glass vessels in southern Pannonia.
