Summary of the methods of composition analysis and identification of ancient glass objects

Abstract

The analysis and identification of the composition of ancient glass objects is a major topic in archaeological research today, and its main task is to restore the true appearance of ancient artifacts as completely as possible by examining various characteristics (surface weathering, color, chemical composition, etc.). The analysis of the indicators before and after weathering at the sampling points is a very important research method that should be continuously improved and rationalized. In this thesis, the characteristics of various types of glass products before and after weathering and the indicators of chemical composition are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively through various methods (modeling, data analysis, etc.), and the patterns among the indicators of various types of glass are identified, and then the composition of various types of glass before weathering is predicted and the type of glass of unknown glass artifacts is judged. The ideas and research methods embodied therein are of certain significance for the analysis and identification of ancient glass objects in the future.
