Chemical Analyses Of Early Glasses Catalogue Of Samples PDF Download

This two-volume set is not a primer in glass studies; rather, it is intended to be most useful (especially when joined by Volume 3) to those who bring to it some prior knowledge of the subject. In the catalogue (Volume I), 19 categories of glasses (each corresponding to a broad geographical, chronological, typological, or cultural description) are followed by chapters on weathering products; paints, enamels, etc.; faince, Egyption blue, raw, and similar materials; natural glasses; non-glasses; pigments; and supplemental information. Volume 2 (the tables) reports chemical analyses of about 3300 samples of glasses and related materials, the headings for which correspond to those in Volume 1. Each table contains a notation of the number of samples reported and also the name of the file where the data are stored in the Scientific Research Department's computer Volume 2 has a separate ISBN (0-87290-143-2).
