Raw Glass from Treby Borg – Archaeological Artifact Print
This print features a fragment of raw glass, measuring 37 mm in length, uncovered at Treby Borg, an Iron Age ringfort on the island of Öland, Sweden. Dating to the Iron Age, this piece represents raw material from glass production, providing insight into the technological practices and trade networks of the period.
The glass fragment exhibits rich blue tones with iridescent surfaces formed through centuries of burial. Such raw glass would have been imported or locally processed, then melted down and crafted into beads, ornaments, or other objects. Its presence at Treby Borg reflects the site’s connection to wider trade systems and highlights the role of glassworking in the community’s economy and craftsmanship.
Treby Borg, like other ringforts on Öland, was part of a network of fortified settlements that played significant roles in regional defense, trade, and social organization during the Iron Age.
Printed on high-quality archival paper, this reproduction faithfully presents the texture, color, and patina of the original artifact. Suitable for educational environments, offices, or private collections, the print offers a visual connection to the craftsmanship and material culture of Iron Age Scandinavia.
