The author draws upon her earlier published work, in which a classification and interpretation of selected categories of glass production relics had been put forward. In view of the fragmentariness and sporadic occurrence of written sources on glass-making in antiquity and Mediaeval times, archaeological records must remain the basis for research on this sort of manufacturing. In turn, the specific nature of the material and the complexity of the issues involved demand a somewhat modified research approach, different from that applied to ready-made glass products. While the present author debates some of the opinions of various scholars, she has taken advantage of new and varied records to document her own suggestion of a classification mentioned above. She also takes up some issues regarding research methods involved in the study of local glass production. In her opinion, the ancient and early mediaeval glass workshop was characterized by the following assemblage of categories of finds: production relics (buildings, other roofed structures, furnaces, hearts, tools, raw materials, slag, glass mass, waste products), half-products, ready products and the other. The author goes on to describe summarily the functioning of the ancient glass-making craft and presents examples of waste in the three subcategories. In discussing these finds she also considers the possibilities for interpreting them as the remains of different types of workshops.

Spanish proverbs are an unquestionable source of information about ideology prevailing in Spanish-speaking community’s mentality. Proverbs contain stereotypes, conceptions and a worldwide perception belonging to society that coined them. Here I intend to notice how a determined conception of women (specifically positive and negative aspects of feminine beauty) was already reflected in ancient Greek and Latin proverbs and literature, and how this image is still prevalent in Spanish proverbs deriving from classical ones.
