Compositional analyses of ancient and historic glasses have often been interpreted in terms of the use of specific raw materials in glass manufacture. However, the known inhomogeneity of many glass-making raw materials and the insolubilities of some compounds make any explanation of compositional data problematic. This paper looks at three glass-making alkalis with a view to understanding how the compositions of these raw materials are carried through to the final glass. The chemistry and variability of the raw materials are discussed, as is their contribution to the final glass composition. In addition, the choices and decisions made by glassmakers are acknowledged in the final glass compositions. This combination of factors addresses the complexity of predicting the use of specific raw materials from the finished glass composition.
