虽然在铁器时代和公元一千年前，在东南亚发现了大量的玻璃珠，但吴哥时期（公元9 - 15世纪）的玻璃制品并不常见，也没有得到充分的研究。本文介绍了对来自9世纪哈里哈拉亚邦皇家首都和后来（公元12 - 14世纪）吴哥城城墙背景的81个玻璃珠和人工制品的分析结果。使用激光烧蚀-电感耦合等离子体质谱（LA-ICP-MS）的成分分析已经确定了玻璃属于三大类成分组。Hariharlaya的早期遗址有许多玻璃珠和由植物苏打玻璃制成的容器碎片，与中东的生产有关，以及高铝矿物苏打玻璃，这种玻璃经常在东南亚的铁器时代遗址中发现，可能在南亚生产。吴哥窟后期遗址中的珠子主要是铅玻璃，与中国的玻璃生产有关，以及高铝矿物苏打玻璃的不同子类型，这些玻璃也在公元14世纪至19世纪的东南亚遗址中被发现。吴哥城的少数珠子也有植物苏打成分，与哈里哈里亚邦的珠子不同。本研究结果为吴哥时期精英参与更广泛的区域交流网络提供了一种新的证据。
Although glass beads were found in large quantities in Southeast Asia during the Iron Age and into the first millennium CE, glass artifacts from the Angkorian period (ninth-fifteenth centuries CE) are less common and have not been as well-studied. This paper presents the results of an analysis of 81 glass beads and artifacts from the ninth-century royal capital of Hariharlaya and later (twelfth-fourteenth centuries CE) contexts from the walled city of Angkor Thom. Compositional analyses using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) have identified glass belonging to three broad compositional groups. The earlier Hariharlaya sites have numerous glass beads and vessel fragments made from vegetal soda glass, associated with Middle Eastern production, as well as high-alumina mineral soda glass of a sub-type frequently found at Iron Age sites in Southeast Asia and likely produced in South Asia. Beads from the later-period sites within Angkor Thom are primarily lead glass, associated with Chinese glass production, and different sub-types of high-alumina mineral soda glass that have also been found at sites in Southeast Asia dating from the fourteenth to the nineteenth centuries CE. A small number of beads from Angkor Thom also have a vegetal soda composition distinct from beads at Hariharlaya. The results of this study provide a new type of evidence for elite participation in broader regional exchange networks during the Angkorian period.
