DATA ON 61 CHEMICAL ELEMENTS FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THREE MAJOR GLASS COMPOSITIONS IN LATE ANTIQUITY AND THE MIDDLE AGES
K. H. Wedepohl|Klaus Simon|Andreas Kronz
Sets of 20 soda ash, 16 lime and 23 wood ash glasses mainly from excavations in Europe were analysed by microprobe LA–ICP-MS for 61 elements are presented as average concentrations with standard deviations. Concentrations sodium, potassium magnesium allow the major glass type to be identified. Specific compositions raw materials production indicate certain sources, technical processes ages. Heavy minerals etc. quartz sands contain rare earth (REE) crustal fractionations that different three types. Accumulations P, B, Ba, Mn K soils organic can characterize regions.
