Political and technological changes, glass provenance and a new glass production model along the west Asian Silk Road

We consider some of the social, political, and economic factors that led to the mass production of glass, especially during the ‘Abbasid Caliphate. Scientific analysis is used to investigate glass production, and consider how these factors can be used to interpret the results having defined glass te...
