Tracing glass production in urban centers along the Silk Roads in the early Islamic period by Andrew Meek, St John Simpson, Nadine Schibille

“…Our data show that raw glass no longer traveled in large quantities over long distances, but that primary productions multiplied in urban centers along the medieval Silk Roads. We propose that the old model of a globalized glass trade disintegrates by the 9th century in favor of a more flexible and diverse production model, reflected in a variety of localized compositional groups.…”
