Cilj doktorske disertacije predstavlja objedinjavanje rezultata tipološke i hemijske
analize staklenog materijala sa prostora kasnorimske provincije Sredozemne Dakije. Fokus
istraživanja usmeren je na tri arheološka lokaliteta smeštena u južnoj Srbiji. Najraniji primer
je Mala Kopašnica, rimsko naselje iz perioda 2-4. veka, sa izdvojenim materijalom
opredeljenim u vreme od druge polovine 3. do kraja 4. veka. Iz slično datovanog arheološkog
konteksta potiče i staklo iz Medijane, gradskog predgrađa Naisa, datovano u najvećoj meri u
4. vek, dok najmlađu grupu čine primerci ranovizantijskog stakla sa Caričinog grada
(Justiniana Prima), iz 6. - ranog 7. stoleća. U analizu su uključeni i objavljeni stakleni
predmeti iz Serdike, glavnog grada provincije Sredozemne Dakije, koji su u literaturi
obrađeni na sličan način. Nalazi od stakla sa ostalih lokaliteta u ovoj oblasti, publikovani su u
malom broju i predstavljeni su u posebnom poglavlju. Na ovom stepenu istraženosti, oni ne
doprinose znača...jano izučavanju proizvodnje, distribucije i upotrebe staklenih predmeta.
Zahvaljujući sveobuhvatnim analizama izdvojenog materijala, može se sagledati
proces nastanka jednog staklenog predmeta, od porekla i dotoka sirovine, preko njegove
izrade, oblikovanja i funkcije, do prestanka upotrebe tog primerka, njegovog odbacivanja ili
recikliranja. Ovakav pristup analizi stakla, omogućio nam je praćenje morfoloških i
tehnoloških promena na staklu od kraja 3. do ranog 7. veka. Imajući u vidu primenjenu
metodologiju, kao i činjenicu da je materijal koji je ovom prilikom uzet u razmatranje u
najvećoj meri pouzdano datovan, sadržaj ove disertacije umnogome doprinosi upotpunjavanju
slike distribucije stakla na Balkanu, i šire, na teritoriji Rimskog carstva, u posmatranom
periodu.
The aim of this dissertation is to integrate, in a comprehensive manner, the results of
typological and chemical analyses of glass findings from the Late Roman province of Dacia
Mediterranea. The research is focused on three archaeological sites located in present-day
southern Serbia. The earliest one is the Roman settlement in Mala Kopašnica, dated from the
2nd to the 4th centuries; a selected glass material from the site dates from the second half of the
3rd to the end of 4th century. The finds from Mediana are similarly dated, mostly to the 4th
century, while the most recent glass group comes from the Early Byzantine (mid 6th - early 7th
century) town of Caričin grad (Justiniana Prima). The already-published glassware from
Serdica, the capital of Dacia Mediterranea, has also been taken into consideration, as it was
methodologically treated in a similar manner as applied here. Glass finds from other sites in
this area were poorly published, and they are presented in a separate chapte...r. At this stage of
the research, they do not contribute significantly to the study of production, distribution and
utilisation of glass objects.
Thanks to the comprehensive analyses undertaken in the scope of the dissertation, the
process of making a glass object and its utilisation can be observed, from the origin of raw
materials, through the forming of an object, its function and decoration, to the cessation of its
use, rejection or recycling. Such an approach to the analyses allowed us to study
morphological and technological changes in glass from the end of the 3rd to the early 7th
century. Given that the vast majority of our glass samples are reliably dated, and having in
mind the applied methodology, it is hoped that the results of this dissertation will greatly
contribute to the knowledge of glass distribution in the Balkans, and even in the wider
territories of the Roman Empire throughout the observed period.
