The glossary grew out of the need to have a standardized system for the cataloguing of glass artifacts from sites excavated by Parks Canada. It presents information on the general aspects of glass artifacts, such as their colour, condition, and manufacturing techniques. It provides guidance on terminology, measurements to take, and attributes to describe.
The Getty Museum’s collection of postclassical European glass represents a well-defined chapter within the history of the medium. These objects—which range in date from the late Middle Ages to the late seventeenth century—originated in important Italian, German, Bohemian, Netherlandish, Silesian, and Austrian centers of production. The sixty-eight pieces presented in this catalogue include vessels made to resemble rock crystal or chalcedony; glass blown into unusually large or remarkably refined shapes; and glass decorated with ornament that is intricately applied, elegantly enameled, or gilded. Each object is described in detail, including provenance, bibliography, and relevant comparative examples. An introductory essay traces the history of European glass from classical times to the present.
Archaeologists and curators working on military sites have to address the problems of what kinds of objects were used by officers and men, how and when they were used and whether they were privately owned or supplied by the military. To help both these groups and for the interest of the general public an illustrated catalogue of glassware used by the British military in Canada from ca. 1755 to 1820 was compiled. The catalogue focusses on the Seven Years' War (1756-63), the American Revolution (1776-83) and the War of 1812-14. Categories used include drinking by type of beverage, storage and serving vessels, drinking glasses, wine glass coolers and finger glasses; eating vessels for condiments, serving vessels and desserts; canteens; health and personal care; and lighting. Material on ownership, sources of supply, and details on production are also included.
A report on the excavation of three sites on Minnow Street, Monmouth, during the 1980s and 1990s. Two of the sites contained features and finds indicative of Roman ironworking and agriculture during the 4th and 5th century and defensive features which may have been associated with a nearby earlier military building. The excavations suggested that the town expanded rapidly following the construction of the Norman castle but that this part of the town continually suffered from economic fluctuations. Each excavation is reported on individually but the finds are examined together.
