使用电子探针微量分析 (EPMA) 对从约旦东北部 Umm el-Jimal 的四个建筑物收集的 20 个玻璃样品进行了分析。除一种灰钠钙硅玻璃外，其余均为黎凡特起源的泡碱钠钙硅玻璃。大多数玻璃的成分与阿波罗尼亚-阿尔苏夫 (Arsuf) 的拜占庭罐式熔炉中的玻璃类似，但其中四种石灰含量较低的玻璃更接近于 Bet Eli'ezer (哈德拉) 倭马亚时期生产的玻璃。该论文在诊断回收表 (DRT) 中提供了指示回收的诊断信息，其中分析按 K2O（回收过程中的关键污染物）的降序排列。这样可以对一系列污染物元素进行比较，并且观察到，一般来说，被燃料灰成分 K2O、P2O5 和 CaO 污染的玻璃也富含过渡金属氧化物 CuO、PbO、FeO 和 MnO，证实这两组元素对于识别回收玻璃都很重要。氯也被认为是通过回收而改性的成分。结果确定乌姆吉马尔是拜占庭时期玻璃回收主要系统的一部分，并强调了回收玻璃在其供应中的重要性，尽管它相对靠近叙利亚-巴勒斯坦海岸的原玻璃生产地点。 (C) 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS。版权所有。
Twenty glass samples collected from four structures at Umm el-Jimal, northeast Jordan were analysed using the electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Except one ash-soda-lime-silica glass, all were natron soda-lime-silica glasses of Levantine origin. Most of the glasses compositionally resemble glass from the Byzantine tank furnaces at Apollonia-Arsuf (Arsuf), but four with lower lime are closer to Umayyad period production at Bet Eli'ezer (Hadera). The paper presents diagnostic information indicating recycling in a diagnostic recycling table (DRT) in which the analyses are ranked in a descending order of K2O, a key contaminant in the recycling process. This allows the comparison of a range of contaminant elements and it is observed that in general glass contaminated with fuel ash components K2O, P2O5 and CaO are also richer in transition metal oxides CuO, PbO, FeO and MnO, confirming that both sets of elements are important in identifying recycled glass. Chlorine is also identified as a component modified by recycling. The results ascertain that Umm el-Jimal was part of a major system of glass recycling in the Byzantine period, and emphasise the importance of recycled glass in its supply, in spite of its relative proximity to the location of raw glass production on the Syro-Palestinian coast.
