Characterization of archaeological and in situ Scottish window glass
Scottish window glass from both archaeological sites and historic buildings was examined using portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) and scanning electron microscopy – energy-dispersive X-ray micro-analysis (SEM–EDX). The elemental composition of the glass provides information regarding the materials used and, subsequently, an approximate range of dates of manufacture. pXRF is shown...Kennedy, Craig J ; Murdoch, K.

The effect of different controlled atmospheres is compared to the polluted atmosphere... -
