Window Glass
Here are some examples of shards of window glass found at Manton Lane.
Chemical analysis shows the glass was made with sand from Egypt, and dates to after 350AD. The window glass is blown and has bubbles in it. The variations in colour show different batches, possibly from different times or composition of recycled glass. Often the first place that such glass was used would have been to glaze a bath house window.
