For the first time, a complete study –morphological, use wear and archaeometric– of this material has been conducted.

The archaeometric analysis results show a mineralogical nature of these materials, based in variscite and amber.

Accordingly, archaeometric characterization studies have been little used for approaching paleoeconomical aspects such as technological processes or sequences of manufacture.

In order to better characterize and date the archaeological context, archaeometric and archaeomagnetic investigations were performed.

In this paper, we show the analytical data obtained from the archaeometric study of these pieces.

Based on that, we evaluated a series of archaeometric attributes concerning their evolution from disposal to discovery.

Resulting data indicate that archaeometric research on glasses has experienced an exponential growth in the period 2000-2008.
