T
he Organizing Committee of the 18
th
Congress of the International Association
for the History of Glass welcomes you to essaloniki.
is congress is the outcome of a great eort to organize our triennial meeting for
the rst time in Greece, and the Balkans.
Our 18
th
meeting has attracted an impressive number of international speakers
from 30 countries and all 5 continents. Ahead we have a full program of 150 com-
munications in two parallel sessions of lectures and two poster sessions. We hope
that this meeting will oer us more than an overview of new nds; that it will be the
forum of the exchange of views and the sharing of knowledge over the advances of
our research.
e 18
th
Congress coincides with the exhibition Glass Cosmos, currently on dis-
play at the Archaeological Museum of essaloniki. Glass products were present in
the everyday and the religious life of the northern Greeks and were consequently
buried with their owners. Eleven northern Greek museums, ephorates of antiquities,
and university excavations oered nds to be exhibited on loan, on the occasion of
the congress.
Finally, the organizing committee would like to express its thanks to the institu-
tions and bodies of the city that supported the eort.

GLASS WORKING IN AMPHIPOLIS
DURING THE ROMAN PERIOD
Mntnmn Penelope - Dnun:s Konstantinos

th
Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiguities, Kavala, Greece.
A
mphipolis was an Athenian colony (438/7 BC) and one of the most important
settlements of Macedonia. According to the archaeological evidences and the
historic testinories Amphipolis gas proved a continuous development either as En-
nea Odoi or as Amphipolis, from the Archaic up to the early Christian times. e
rich cemeteries of Amphipolis and its surrounding area provide us important infor-
mation about the history and the society of the city and its countryside. e rescue
excavations of the last decade at the northeastern and mainly the eastern areas of the
ancient city (Eastern cemetery), revealed many graves with important nds, among
them a number of glass vessels. During the construction of the modern road system
of Egnatia Odos, two more cemeteries have been discovered at the area of the mod-
ern village Nea Kerdyllia, which was under the cultural inuence of Amphipolis. e
nds from this cemeteries can be dates to the hellenistic and the roman period.
e glass vessels comprise a great group of the nds at the cemeteries of Am-
phipolis and the area of Nea Kerdyllia and arm the existence of a local macedoni-
an workshop. Besides that, they reveal the extended commercial contacts between
Amphipolis other workshops of the eastern and western parts of the Roman Empire.
Most of those glass vessels have common features with other that have been found in
roman and early Christian period graves at essaloniki and from dierent other ar-
eas of Macedonia. All those glass vessels display a vast majority of types, colours and
decorative techniques.
is paper will focus on the selective presentation of roman and early Christian
period glass vessels from closed groups and an attempt will be done of a typologi-
cal analysis and comparative chronology according to the nds that have been un-
earthed with the glass vessels, and especially the coins.
