Descripción del proyecto
The project SocGlass aims to model intersocietal interactions in the Lower Dniester region in the Classical period (broadly, 6th c. BCE to 5th c. CE) through the archaeometric compositional study of glass supply patterns, and an investigation of spatio-temporal distribution of glass artefacts modelled by social network analysis (SNA). The vast lowlands north of the Danube delta (Ukraine and Moldova) formed a natural contact zone between the Greco-Roman world and the indigenous peoples of the Pontic region. Glass and glass items were often traded across ethnic and societal boundaries. The diversity of origins of imported glass in the region will be clarified by compositional analysis of glass finds, primarily from the ancient city of Tyras, testing a model of long-term, stable, meaningful patterns of glass supply. The fellow will trace changes in glass composition over a millennium and match them to possible changes in trade patterns, compiling a new model of glass circulation at the LD frontier. The spatial patterns of glass distribution in Greco-Roman cities and sites of the indigenous groups will be quantified and modelled through directed weighted social networks. The latter will be interpreted from a historical perspective looking for evidence of meaningful patterns of intersocietal interactions. Thus, SocGlas will address the issue of social relationships between the Greco-Roman world and indigenous groups, combining archaeometry and SNA to gain unparalleled insight into intersocietal networks in the region of the study. This approach provides a meaningful framework for combining typo-chronological, historic and archaeometric lines of enquiry, but has only rarely been applied to Classical studies and never to an archaeological record of such notable temporal length.
