The Materials Science of Archaeology The provenance of archaeological materials using scientific techniques underpins many of the research questions that archaeology addresses, providing evidence of primary production, of trade in ancient materials and of the use of specific raw material sources. Thus any advances in this interdisciplinary research area are to be considered as contributing in fundamental ways. However, whilst chemical analysis is an essential first step in characterising the glass, it does not constitute an independent means of providing a provenance. A new way of providing a provenance for Islamic glasses is the determination of radiogenic isotopes in them, set in an environmental context. For the first time this is starting to provide evidence of a geological provenance for Islamic glasses in the Middle East, providing the basis for identifying where vessel types were made and when glass was traded. |
