I disagree about not melting the glass. As is stated, it is part of a large dump of glass--it won't be missed. As well, the Romans recycled the glass for their uses. In order to really know something in history, it helps to actually experience it and as a tinkerer myself, I love seeing old arts or techniques rediscovered.

I think they shouldn't melt down the antique glass. With modern computers they could put it back together or learn other things about where it came from how it was made etc. melt down some soda bottles or something....also when one does a dig the evidence is destroyed. The process shouldn't be rushed.

ive seen glass like that in the museum. i like the opaque look, but i also like the more quality cobalt colored glass i saw there! even today cobalt glass is used for expensive liqours!
