“…This is a soda glass with high alumina concentrations (>5%). Its high concentration in India convinced Brill (1987) that this glass had been manufactured there (Dussubieux 2021). There are least 12 sub-groups of the mineral soda-alumina glass, namely m-Na-Al 1 to 12 (Dussubieux and Walder 2022).…”

“…Some sites in Southern India and Mantai in Sri Lanka may have also been the glass-making places. The m-Na-Al 3 glass probably produced in northern India (Dussubieux 2021). And other known types of m-Na-Al glass appeared later than 9 th century CE and will not be discussed here.…”

“…Potash glass is the most in samples. Except for SEAG-031 and SEAG-036, the other 42 glass samples are all potash glass(Dussubieux 2021;). The major constituent of 42 potash glass Jue is SiO 2 , and the content range is 66.96%~88.16%.…”

In this paper, 44 glass Jue collected in Southeast Asia have been scientifically studied by means of X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), optical coherence tomography (OCT), optical microscopy (OM) and confocal laser Raman microspectroscopy(LRS). Chemical compositions, phase components, internal physical structures and surface micromorphology of the Jue samples are obtained. According to the scientific analysis results, the glass types of the Jue samples can be classified into three types, potash glass, soda-alumina glass and potash-lead glass. 42 samples belong to potash glass, and the 2 samples left belong to soda-alumina glass and potash-lead glass, respectively. Two subgroups, m-K-Al subgroup and m-K-Ca-Al subgroup, are found for potash glass. Only 4 potash glass samples belong to m-K-Ca-Al subgroup, the others are m-K-Al subgroup potash glass. Drawing, casting and cold-working techniques were applied during the process of glass making. Samples are colored by iron ions, or colored by iron and copper ions, except for one sample(SEAG-031) which is opacified by lead tin yellow. Combining with the glass types, shapes, traditions and distributions of Jue, the origins of the raw materials and productions centers for the glass Jue samples collected in Southeast Asia are discussed. The contacts between China and Southeast Asia/South Asia are also discussed. The results obtained in this paper shed some new lights on contacts between China and other countries along the Maritime Silk Road.

“…On India's southeast coast, the site of Arikamedu has played an outsized role in Indian Ocean studies. The discovery of Roman materials at Arikamedu (Wheeler et al 1946) led to multiple excavation projects (Begley et al 1996(Begley et al , 2004Casal 1949) (Dussubieux 2021a). Other sites along India's southeast coast with Roman materials include Kaveripattanam and Alagankulam.…”

“…New glass bead data strengthen material ties between Gulf sites and South Asia. Initially it seemed that South Asian beads traveled mostly to and through Red Sea ports, but now elemental analyses of glass beads from Kish (Iraq) in post-Sasanian contexts show them to be made of several South Asian glass subtypes (Dussubieux 2021a). The presence at Kish of carnelian beads from western India, as well as macroscopically similar glass beads at Khor Rori (South Arabia) and at Siraf (Iran), suggests that the Red Sea was not the only transport route for South Asian ornaments in the western Indian Ocean region (Dussubieux 2021a).…”

Recent Developments in the Archaeology of Long-Distance Connections Across the Ancient Indian Ocean

Scholarship on the ancient Indian Ocean, which stretches deep into the previous century, is available from an array of academic disciplines including but not limited to history, archaeology, epigraphy, numismatics, art history, and materials science. It spans from prehistory to the present era and includes evidence ranging from the Mediterranean to East Asia. What binds together the world of Indian Ocean research is an enduring interest in the complex maritime-based links crosscutting this space and—for archaeologists—the movements of cultural elements (objects, ideas, people, etc.) that have left behind some material trace. Recent field projects and materials science studies have greatly expanded this material database, refining (and sometimes challenging) traditional interpretations about Indian Ocean maritime relations. This review presents a streamlined perspective, focusing on recent archaeological contributions about long-distance interregional connections across the Indian Ocean from 500 bce to 1000 ce. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Anthropology, Volume 52 is October 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
