  • The analysis of late Bronze Age glass from Nuzi and the question of the origin of glass-making 
    Shortland, Andrew J.; Kirk, Susanna; Eremin, Katherine; Degryse, Patrick; Walton, M. (Wiley, 2017-10-25)
    This paper re‐analyses a considerable corpus of glass from the Late Bronze Age site of Nuzi, found near Kirkuk in Iraq. SEM–WDS and Sr and Nd isotopic analysis were applied, in addition to cataloguing the glass. The work ...
  • Antimony as a raw material in ancient metal and glass making: provenancing Georgian LBA metallic Sb by isotope analysis 
    Dillis, Sarah; van Ham-Meert, Alicia; Leeming, Peter; Shortland, Andrew J.; Gobejishvili, Gela; Abramishvili, Mikheil; Degryse, Patrick (Taylor & Francis, 2019-11-13)
    Sb was frequently used as a raw material, both in ancient glass-making (as an opacifier and decolouriser) and metallurgy (either as an alloying element or as a pure metal). Despite this ubiquity, antimony production has ...
  • Chapter 14: Ceramics 
    Shortland, Andrew J.; Degryse, Patrick (Cambridge University Press, 2019-12-31)
    Ceramics are the most abundant surviving material on almost all Neolithic and later archaeological sites. Their abundance and ubiquity is the result of several factors. Firstly, the raw materials that are used to create ...
  • Experimental mixing of natron and plant ash style glass: implications for ancient glass recycling 
    Scott, R. B.; Neyt, B.; Brems, D.; Eekelers, K.; Shortland, Andrew J.; Degryse, Patrick (Ingenta, 2017-02-14)
    The practice of re-melting glass was well known, certainly from the Roman period onwards. This can be seen not only in ancient literary evidence but also in the archaeological evidence, collections of broken glass have ...
  • High-resolution X-ray diffraction with no sample preparation 
    Hansford, G. M.; Turner, S. M. R.; Degryse, Patrick; Shortland, Andrew J. (International Union of Crystallography, 2017-07-01)
    It is shown that energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) implemented in a back-reflection geometry is extremely insensitive to sample morphology and positioning even in a high-resolution configuration. This technique ...
  • Isotopic evidence for the use of Caucasian antimony in Late Bronze Age glass making 
    Degryse, Patrick; Shortland, Andrew J.; Dillis, Sarah; van Ham-Meert, Alicia; Vanhaecke, Frank; Leeming, Peter (Elsevier, 2020-06-29)
    Antimony (Sb) is considered a rare material in the archaeological record, found only in unusual circumstances. Nevertheless, antimony minerals were an important resource for several millennia, used in metallurgy and to ...
  • Transatlantic connections in colonial and post-colonial Haiti: archaeometric evidence for taches noires glazed tableware imported from Albissola, Italy to Fort Liberté, Haiti. 
    Casale, Simone; Jean, Joseph S.; Capelli, Claudio; Braekmans, Dennis; Degryse, Patrick; Hofman, Corinne (Springer Verlag, 2020-10-01)
    This paper presents the first archaeometrical data on colonial glazed wares (taches noires) imported in Haiti (Fort Liberté). The analysis evidenced the exclusive presence of Italian taches noires products, dated before ...
  • A unique recipe for glass beads at Iron Age Sardis 
    van Ham-Meert, Alicia; Dillis, Sarah; Blomme, Annelore; Cahill, Nicholas; Claeys, Philippe; Elsen, Jan; Eremin, Katherine; Gerdes, Axel; Steuwe, Christian; Roeffaers, Maarten; Shortland, Andrew J.; Degryse, Patrick (Elsevier, 2019-06-28)
    In large parts of the Mediterranean recipes for the earliest man-made glass changed from melting mixtures of crushed quartz pebbles and halophytic plant ashes in the Late Bronze Age to the use of quartz sands and mineral ...
