Archaeologist, with a PhD on Roman glass, my main research focus is Roman archaeology and Roman material culture with ancient glass, I have also 17 years experience in museum work, that is why I'm also active in the field of cultural heritage promotion and preservation. Since 2005 I work at the University as a researcher and professor and from 2013 I'm a Dean at the Faculty of Humanities in Koper, Slovenia. In 2021 an Unesco Chair of heritage interpretation and education for enhancing integrated heritage approaches was establishe at the Faculty /university. Since 2022 I'm the Head of this Unesco Chair.

The author of the monograph, an internationally renowned researcher of ancient glass, who also organized the 19th World Conference of Glass Researchers in 2012 in Slovenia (AIHV – Association Internationale pour l'histoire du verre), introduces the research on ancient glass in Slovenia and its surrounding area through a set of articles, which are the fruit of her research during the past decade. The articles are arranged into three main sections: The Development of Glassmaking in the South-East Alpine Area and Its Vicinity, Sites and Finds, Glass as a Museum Object.
The present monograph is thus the result of many years of archaeological research in the field of the material culture of antiquity, and also wishes to pave the way for the promotion of science and scientific achievements aimed at the public. As an e-publication and the first monograph in the series Libri Universitatis Hereditati it is freely accessible to all researchers at home and around the world, as well as to students and the wider public. We hope that they can gain an insight into the latest finds of antique glass from the area of present-day Slovenia and at the same time, learn about the results of the latest research work in this field of material culture.
The research is a continuation of the homonymous project that took course between 2006 and 2008 where the emphasis was laid on the international mobility of professional archaeologists and the obstacles they may encounter as well as the conditions or qualifications required for the work of professional archaeologists in different European countries. The Slovene part of the research took course under the leadership of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ljubljana specifically under the surveillance of Prof Predrag Novaković.
The DISCO 2014 project performed by the University of Primorska (Koper) on behalf of Slovenia strives for the same main goal, i.e. to survey the labour market, while the immediate objectives are to identify the needs for specific knowledge in archaeology which will enable a more efficient work organisation and management planning, offering the individuals to better plan and upgrade their professional curricula, while offering the agents in professional education guidelines for further development. Parts of information rendered in the questionnaire are mandatory for all participant states since it will make international comparability possible. All information will offer an insight into the effects of the worldwide economic crisis which included Slovenia by the end of the 2006-2008 DISCO project.
The introductory paper presents the most important Roman sites in Slovenia and the latest discoveries during the motorway reconstruction.
mould made fine ware discovered in Roman road and custom station Romula (Slovenia) in the period from 2001 to 2005. The
complete study of the material is in progress but due to large amount of glass finds we would like to point out some results and
observations. Monochrome translucent coloured fine ware and monochrome opaque coloured fine ware, characteristic for the
first three quarters of the 1st century AD, have distinguished angular and carinated profiles and are further characterized by
strong colours and high standards of craftsmanship. Among the Romula material the emerald green glass is predominant for all
forms of fine wares (plates, cups, pyksides) while the opaque vessels are made of light blue glass (cups). There is also a significant
group of black appearing mould-made glass vessels (plates, cups, bowls, pyksides).
