Abstract
For the first time an archaeological and archaeometric work presents the discovery of glass-working evidences in the area of Dürres Roman Amphitheatre in Albania. Glasses, coming from a layer dating back to the 11th century A.D., have been object of an archaeometric characterization to determinate the chemical composition. Moreover the oxygen isotope ratio has been calculated to hypothesize the provenance of the sands used to melt the glass. Bricks and charcoals, elements linked to the kiln structure, were analyzed by thermoluminescence and radiocarbon respectively.
