Excavations at Frattesina have been directed by AnnaMaria Bietti-Setsierri for the Soporintendensa in Rome, Italy. Full compositional analyses of the products and by-products will be published as a joint paper by Bietti-Sestierri and Henderson. A provisional consideration of glass of this composition from Frattesina and elsewhere is given in J. Henderson, “Glass Production and Bronze Age Europe,” Antiquity, 62 (1988), pp. 435–451.
