These were two of the types of glass artefacts that were made in Greece at the time. There is no archaeological evidence for the primary manufacture of glass in Late Bronze Age Greece and it is thought that the shipwreck found at Ulu Burun with 145 glass ingots on board may have been destined for the Greek mainland. The ingots would have been broken up, remelted and used for the manufacture of jewellery such as moulded pendants.
