Recent UrbNet results continue to make headlines
The study, which confirms the origin of clear Roman glass by analysing trace quantities of Hafnium isotopes of glass fragments from the archaeological excavations in Jerash by the Danish-German Jerash Northwest Quarter Project, has been widely covered in the news ever since it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last month.
The Recent publication "‘Alexandrian’ Glass Confirmed by Hafnium Isotopes" by Centre director Professor Rubina Raja, Assistant professor Gry Barfod and colleagues has since its time of publication received widespread press coverage:
