本文讨论了青铜时代晚期玻璃的锶-钕-锑同位素分析，以探讨早期玻璃制造中所用矿物原料的来源和性质。锶-钕同位素分析表征了玻璃原料混合物的熔剂和二氧化硅成分。这项技术已成功地用于分离埃及和美索不达米亚的玻璃特征，还识别了美索不达米亚玻璃制造中至少两种不同的熔剂-二氧化硅混合物的使用。Sb同位素分析是一种检测用于使最早的玻璃不透明的原材料的新技术。据证明，埃及和美索不达米亚的玻璃厂可能使用相同的Sb来源，可能来自高加索地区。这表明在青铜时代晚期，这种材料有稳定的供应和长途交换或贸易。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This paper discusses Sr-Nd-Sb isotopic analysis of Late Bronze Age glass to investigate the origin and nature of the mineral raw materials used in early glass making. Sr-Nd isotopic analysis characterizes the flux and silica component of the glass raw material mixture. This technique has been successfully applied to separate Egyptian from Mesopotamian glass signatures, also identifying the use of at least two distinct flux-silica mixtures in Mesopotamian glass making. Sb isotopic analysis is presented as a novel technique to examine the raw material used to opacify the earliest glass. It is demonstrated that Egyptian and Mesopotamian glass factories likely used an identical source of Sb, possibly originating from the Caucasus. This suggests a steady supply and long distance exchange or trade of this material during the Late Bronze Age. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
