Exploration reveals makeup container origins in a historical context, suggesting trade or cultural exchange in York.
A small glass flask found in 1983–4 in a late second-century context at Tanner Row, York has been identified as a kohl bottle. These were used as eye makeup containers, and are overwhelmingly found in Egypt. The use of kohl can rarely be traced via its containers outside that area. This article explores the implications of this find for York and the soldiers stationed there.
