The present study is a review of chemical data on glass dated from the 7th-13th centuries A.D. and excavated in various sites in northern and central Italy. This study aims to identify the raw materials and production technologies adopted in the time frame and geographical area considered, and to advance hypotheses on the evolution of glass production technology and on main commercial routes for the period of interest. These aims were performed by means of comparisons, using statistical multivariate methods, with major natron and soda plant ash reference groups, in order to evaluate how the Italian samples could be partitioned.

Abstract
The present study is a review of chemical data on glass dated from the 7th-13th centuries A.D. and excavated in various sites in northern and central Italy. This study aims to identify the raw materials and production technologies adopted in the time frame and geographical area considered, and to advance hypotheses on the evolution of glass production technology and on main commercial routes for the period of interest. These aims were performed by means of comparisons, using statistical multivariate methods, with major natron and soda plant ash reference groups, in order to evaluate how the Italian samples could be partitioned.
