LID - 10.3390/ma15020403 [doi] LID - 403 AB - The chemical composition of 48 glass finds from Histria and Tomis, Romania, chiefly dated to the 1st-4th c. AD, was determined using prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA) at the Budapest Neutron Centre (BNC). Most fragments have composition typical for the Roman naturally colored blue-green-yellow (RNCBGY) glass; Mn-colorless, Sb-colorless, and Sb-Mn colorless glass finds were evidenced, too. Several Foy Serie 2.1 and Foy Serie 3.2 glass fragments, as well as an HIMT and a plant ash glass sample, were identified in the studied assemblage. The archaeological evidence, the glass working waste items, and the samples with compositional patterns suggestive of recycling are proofs of the secondary glass working activities at Tomis during the Early Roman Empire period.
