English Medieval Industries is an authoritative modern survey of medieval crafts and their products. It is heavily illustrated by pictures of surviving objects and contemporary representations of medieval work. Each industry is approached by material (amongst others stone, tin, lead, copper, iron, brick, glass, leather, bone and wood), discussing its acquisition, working and sale as a finished product. The contributors are the leading experts in their fields. They describe the specialist work that went to make the housing, clothing, tools, vessels and ornaments of medieval people. A general bibliography provides a valuable reference tool.
Glassmaking was one of the earliest manufacturing industries to be set up in Scotland, but one about which little information has been published. This monograph aims to rectify that situation by documenting the early days of Scottish glass production from the granting of the first patent in 1610 up to the mid-18th century.
The 18th-century container glass from the Roma site has been divided into three main categories, one secondary category and one miscellaneous category on the basis of a combination of features that include glassmaking tradition, country of origin, function and dating. The main categories are: utilitarian blue-green containers of the French wood-burning tradition; darkgreen liquor bottles of the French coal-burning tradition; and "black" glass liquor bottles of the English coal-burning tradition. The secondary category consists of small bottles resembling the French liquor bottles and believed to be their quarter- and half-sized counterparts. Objects unidentifiable by any of these standards are included in the miscellaneous category. A total of 156 identifiable objects were retrieved from the Roma site and are described in this report.
