BCE 2000 (circa) Glass cullet found in 1919 at Eridu (Ur III period), probably made nearby but workshop of origin unknown.

Analysis: Sir Harry Garner, "An Early Piece of Glass From Eridu," Iraq 18 (1956), British School of Archaeology in Iraq; pp. 147-149. The cullet is in the British Museum, Dept. of Western Asiatic Antiquities.
