Archaeological Glass and enamel bibliography

As with copper alloys, I worked on glass and enamels primarily during my postgraduate studies. They’re shown here separately, but that’s an artefact of the way my referencing software out-putted the data, rather than an archaeological or scientific reality. There’s a lot of cross-over in research between the two, particularly when looking at the earliest enamels, as these were fundamentally glass. Studying enamels has also helped us better understand the addition of colour to glasses. I probably stopped adding to this bibliography c.2010.
