Bronze Age glass between the Alps and the Baltic Sea. Studies on manufacture and distribution of the oldest glass in Central Europe

从青铜时代中期到晚期的坟墓和定居点的玻璃珠（14。-9.公元前世纪）是阿尔卑斯山和波罗的海之间地区最古老的玻璃产品。稀有性和与高于平均水平的指定坟墓的密切联系表明了这一材料在那个时代的独特和珍贵价值。与国际标准相比，德国对青铜时代玻璃的研究很少。该项目涉及对来自德国和阿塞拜疆地区的青铜时代玻璃的考古和考古测量调查，旨在获得有关其形式，颜色，时间，发现背景和分布的信息。对主要、微量和稀土元素的化学分析将深入了解玻璃生产和所用配方，以获得有关某些玻璃的来源和分布以及玻璃生产组织的信息。与来自其他地区（即意大利）的青铜时代玻璃的比较将提供有关当时可能的贸易的信息。跨学科的方法将导致有关文化历史和青铜时代玻璃制造历史方面的知识。

Glass beads from graves and settlements of the Middle to Late Bronze Age (14. -9. Century BC) are the oldest glass products in the area between the Alps and the Baltic Sea. The rarity and the close connection to higher than average appointed graves show the exclusive and precious value of this material in that time. Bronze Age glass is poorly investigated in Germany, compared to an international standard. The project deals with archaeological and archaeometrical investigations on Bronze Age glass finds from Germany and ajacent regions, with the aim to get information about their forms, colours, time, find context and distribution. Chemical analysis of major, trace and rare earth elements will give insight into the glass production and the recipes used, to get information about provenance and distribution of certain glass and organisation of glass production. Comparison with Bronze Age glass from other regions, i.e. Italy, will give information about possible trade at that time. The interdisciplinary approach will lead to knowledge about aspects of cultural history and manufacture history of glass in the Bronze Age.
