本文提供了在Tell el‐Amarna的LBA遗址进行玻璃初级生产的直接考古证据，以大量半成品玻璃的形式发现。这些发现的诊断显微结构和化学成分与宏观上类似的发现一起呈现，即成品白色玻璃的不成形团块。发现半成品玻璃含有大量残余石英和新形成的富石灰晶相的夹杂物，但没有添加着色剂。然而，几个半成品玻璃样品的氧化锑含量与成品白色玻璃相当，表明遮光剂被添加到初始玻璃制造批次中。将结果与Qantir-Pi-Ramesse的玻璃制造证据进行了比较，确定了一些密切的技术相似性，这表明两个地点在玻璃生产中使用了相同的技术工艺。
This paper presents direct archaeological evidence for the primary production of glass at the LBA site of Tell el‐Amarna, in the form of numerous finds of semi‐finished glass. The diagnostic microstructural and chemical composition of these finds is presented alongside macroscopically similar finds, of shapeless lumps of finished white glass. The semi‐finished glass was found to contain numerous inclusions of residual quartz and newly formed lime‐rich crystal phases, but no added colorant. However, several samples of semi‐finished glass have antimony oxide levels comparable to those of finished white glass, suggesting that the opacifier was added to the initial glass‐making batch. The results are discussed in comparison with the evidence for glass‐making from Qantir – Pi‐Ramesse, identifying some close technical similarities, which indicate that the same technological processes were used at both sites for the production of glass.
