Summary/Abstract: Composition and Deterioration of Archaeological Window Glass Fragments Discovered in 2015’s Excavations from Timișoara87 fragments of blown type, crown glass, belonging to bullseyes circlets, as part of a glazed panel, were recovered from preventive archaeological research carried out in St. George’s Square from Timişoara. The fragments were extracted from a preOttoman archaeological layer and they are probably the oldest stained glass pieces found in Banat.The investigations carried out included: scanning electron microscopy, Xray dispersed energy spectroscopy, Xray fluorescence, Xray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy.The bullseyes circlets are made of soda-lime-silica glass. The investigations results match the fragments production before the modern period and validated the archaeological data which fit them chronologically in the 16th century
