Glass vessels now available!

1 November 2025

Thanks to the financial support of the Stichting Promotie Archeologisch onderzoek (SPAO) and the Stichting Nederlands Museum voor Anthropologie en Praehistorie (SNMAP) we were able to make the data on the glass vessels publicly available.

There is now data on 3462 glass vessels, and the number is still growing.

Go to ‘Material culture’ click ‘Glass vessels’ and browse through the collection of glass vessels, make maps with the distribution of various types and find out which vessels were found at the sites recorded in the database. There are several routes you can follow by clicking on the images or names of types.

Download the PDF-book The glass vessels of Merovingian northern Gaul to have an overview of the types we defined for recording in the database.

You can also go to ‘Map of Material Culture’ at the ‘Material culture’ page and play with the distribution of various types.

We are working on additional retrieve and export possibilities of lists of data and maps.
