Glass was used for a variety of purposes even during the ancient times. The Egyptian glass beads from 2500 BC are the earliest glass objects known. Glass was used by...

A recent study (I) of Egyptian glass used atomic absorption in conjunction with x-ray diffraction to determine the elements responsible for color and opacity. Atomic absorption (AA) is possibly the most accurate instrumental method for determining elemental composition, although it is insensitive to certain elements and each element must be determined separately (2). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) (3) is a technique developed relatively recently that can go beyond simple elemental constitution and examine the oxidation state of particular elements. We have extended the atomic absorption study of Cowell and Werner (1) to include further Egyptian glass materials, and we have...

Glass artifacts have been studied extensively [103-105]. Shortland s study, mainly of Egyptian glass, both identified the chemical nature of the different opacifiers and colorants used, and showed different compositions between Egyptian and Mesopotamian manufactures.
