ANADOLU’DAN ÖRNEKLERLE DEMİR ÇAĞ’INDA CAM

Almost one hundred years after the invention of glass as a “material” inMesopotamia the earliest glass vessels were produced in the mid 2ndmillenniumB.C. The major production centers for these earliest glass vessels were in Mitanniand Egypt. There was also several archaeological and linguistic evidence concerning with the glass production in the Aegean region by Mycenaeans and in Anatoliaby Hittites. After the fall of the great civilizations of the Bronze Age by the end ofthe 2ndmillennium B.C. and following the Dark Age, the Iron Age witnessed therevival of the glass production in the ancient world, particularly in Assyria andPhoenicia.The aim of our study is to trace the evolution of glass production in ancientcontemporary Anatolian centers. There are recorded glass finds belonging to theIron Age from Phrygian, Lydian and Urartian findspots. For instance, the phialemesomphalos from Gordion which is an import from Assyria or the glass workshop discovered in Sardis both revealing the importance of glass in Anatolianculture. In addition to these, glass finds are recorded from many Urartian sites inthe Eastern Anatolia. These were either glass inlays or beads, but not vessels.At present, there is no evidence for glass from Late Hittite centers in southeastern Anatolia, but the region’s geographical location near the important glassproduction sites in Assyria and Phoenicia suggests the use/production of glass
