使用激光烧蚀ICP-TOFMS分析微量元素，探索了用于时尚迈锡尼珠的原始玻璃的起源。使用这种破坏性最小的技术对这些珠子进行原位分析是理想的，因为这种材料非常稀有，因此太敏感而不能使用传统的微量取样（例如，通过解剖刀）。测量了各种微量元素，将这些希腊玻璃与来自埃及和美索不达米亚的青铜时代晚期玻璃进行比较。在分析的11个珠子中，4个蓝色钴玻璃和2个蓝色/绿色铜玻璃的微量元素组成与埃及制造的起源一致。其他五个玻璃，都用铜着色，被发现符合美索不达米亚玻璃的成分。这些数据是第一个直接和明确的证据，表明迈锡尼国家的原玻璃贸易。
The origins of raw glass used to fashion Mycenaean beads were explored using trace elements analyzed by laser ablation ICP-TOFMS. The use of this minimally destructive technique for the in-situ analysis of these beads was ideal given that the material is exceedingly rare and thus too sensitive to make use of traditional micro-sampling (e.g., by scalpel). A wide range of trace elements were measured to compare these Greek glasses to other Late Bronze Age glass coming from Egypt and Mesopotamia. Of the eleven beads analyzed, four blue glasses colored with cobalt and two blue/green glasses colored with copper have trace element compositions consistent with an Egyptian origin of manufacture. The other five of the glasses, all colored with copper, were found to conform to the composition of Mesopotamian glass. These data are the first to demonstrate direct and clear evidence for the trade of raw glass to the Mycenaean states.
