It has been uncertain whether the glass produced during the Late Bronze Age (LBA) originated in Egypt or Mesopotamia. Here we present evidence for the production of glass from its raw materials in the eastern Nile Delta during the LBA. Glass was made in workshops that were separate from where the production of objects took place. The initial melting of the raw materials to semi-finished glass was done at temperatures of 900 degrees to 950 degrees C, followed by coloration and ingot production at 1000 degrees to 1100 degrees C.
青铜时代晚期（LBA）生产的玻璃究竟起源于埃及还是美索不达米亚一直不确定。在此，我们提供了青铜时代晚期在尼罗河三角洲东部由原材料生产玻璃的证据。玻璃是在与物品生产地点分开的作坊中制造的。原材料最初熔化成半成品玻璃是在900摄氏度至950摄氏度的温度下进行的，随后在1000摄氏度至1100摄氏度下进行染色和铸锭生产。
