Congratulations to our winner of the SAS Student Research Travel Grant -
Ana Franjić from the UCL Institute of Archaeology!
"My doctoral project, entitled Iron Age
Glass Technology in South East Europe, examines glassmaking and glass use on
the territory of present-day Croatia, Slovenia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina
during the first millennium BCE. The SAS Student Research International Travel
Award helped me conduct LA-ICP-MS analysis of my samples at the Department of
Geoscience, Aarhus University. The high resolution of the newly acquired data
allowed me to quantify the sand-related trace elements, which are informative
of the source of the raw glass. The results will hopefully enable me to link
the material to one of the few primary glass workshops operating in the
Mediterranean during this period. Ultimately, the results of this work will
contribute to our broader understanding of glass use in Iron Age Europe"

eye out for updates on Ana's research in forthcoming issues of the SAS
