ISOGLASS—Archaeometric investigation of ancient glass – identification of the sources of Cu, Sb and Ti via isotopic analysis using (laser ablation) multi-collector ICP – mass spectrometry Ghent University
All elements with 2 or more isotopes show natural variation in their isotopic composition as a rseult of isotope fractionation during physical processes and/or (bio)chemical reactions. Determination of the isotopic composition of an element in ancient glass and comparison to those in raw materials possibly used in its manufacturing can provide information on the provenance of the effectively used raw material. Cu can be present in glass as a ...
