Sulle tracce dei più antichi vetri dell'Altopiano dei Sette Comuni Vicentini

This contribution presents the first comprehensive survey of the protohistoric glasses found on the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni Vicentini in the sites of Monte Corgnon (Lusiana) and Bostel (Rotzo) during the excavations directed by Armando De Guio. Starting from the history of the studies, the work offers insights into the typo-chronology, stratigraphy, topography, and function of the finds considered. Also, the paper proposes and briefly discusses the preliminary results of the archaeometric analysis of the major, minor and trace elements carried out by LA-ICP-MS, as a means for understanding the raw materials, the coloring/ opacification technologies and the origin of the base glass.
