Here's a nice display showing some of the significant trade goods that would have been coming into Turkey from several locations, including the south (perhaps present day Lebanon). Lebanon is the home of considerable early glassmaking in the Near East, and provided many regions with the raw materials they used for local glassworking.
In this display, and in the detail below, we can see large round ingots of glass, colored teal and dark blue, that would have supplied local artisans with their raw material for glassworking.
