Serce Limani, Vol 2 [PDF ebook] 
The Glass of an Eleventh-Century Shipwreck

Support

For almost a millennium, a modest wooden ship lay underwater off the coast of Sere Limani, Turkey, filled with evidence of trade and objects of daily life. The ship, now excavated by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University, trafficked in both the Byzantine and Islamic worlds of its time. Known as the Glass Wreck, it bore cargo that included three metric tons of glass cullet, including broken Islamic vessels and eighty pieces of intact glassware, along with various artifacts of ship life.This second volume of the discovery’s investigation focuses on the excavation, conservation, and study of the glass found in the wreckage.The extensive catalog will be a valuable tool for archaeologists and scholars of Islamic glass and Islamic trade. Further, the systematic methodology and presentation of such a large undertaking will serve as a model for future study across many disciplines.
