Current publication is devoted to the injection of two same-type glass bowls from Cherniakhiv culture burial ground into the circle of scientific knowledge. Similar glass bowls are came from graves 110 and 211 on Vojtenki 1 burial ground (Eastern Ukraine). During the research, presumable closest analogies to them were found. These analogies are vessels from Weklice, Poland (burial 82) and Danceni, Republic Moldova (burial 169). T. Stawiarska was identified them as a “Weklice” type. Distinctive and peculiar morphological features of each of the bowls indicate that the Weklice type vessels are unlikely to have a common origin. However, despite these differences, similar shape, the same techniques for processing a rim and a similar ornament composition allow us to rank these bowls to type of product. Some researchers have associated “hot decoration” way of glassware production with the provincial-Roman glass working technology. That is why, it could be assumed, that Weklice type glass bowls have provincial-Roman origin. The evolution of the glassware forms in Roman world allows us to establish the time of their production. It is limited to the period between the second third of the 3rd century – the end of 3rd/beginning of 4th centuries. Lower chronological frame corresponds to the time of appearance of such products in Barbaricum, and the upper one to the time of disappearance of glassware with fire-rounded rim in a number of border provinces of the Empire. Nevertheless, the dating of burials 110 and 211 from Vojtenki 1, shows that such products continue to exist in Barbaricum for a rather long time and fall into complexes at least at chronological stage C3. At the Voitenki 1 burial ground, such bowls are found only in high or special social status female graves. Moreover, the same type of vessel appears in burials with different burial rite as a grave good.
The article aims to investigate the impact of the Migration Period processes on the intensity of interactions between the Romans and barbarians. Specifically, our focus is on the circulation of glassware during the Late Roman to Early Migration Period within the Chernyakhiv culture. The part of the glass goods under investigation is believed to be Roman imports, which makes them a valuable resource for studying Roman – barbarian contacts. To accomplish this, we tried to reconstruct the supply system of two Chernyakhiv sites for glass goods using a dataset of 79 glass items from Viitenky and Velyka Buhaivka burial grounds in Eastern and Central Ukraine. The conducted analysis demonstrates certain transformations in the structure of glass assemblages from both sites occurred at the beginning of the Migration Period. However, the nature of these changes suggests that the Hunnic invasion did not destroy pre-existing economic connections. Instead, the ‘turbulent epoch’ led to new Roman – barbarian contacts and a large influx of Roman imports, including glass goods, to the region of Chernyakhiv culture.
