Abstract

Abstract In a rescue excavation of a Roman funerary complex located at the city of Patras, Achaia, Greece, an assemblage of high quality glass vessels of the 2nd-3rd c. AD was recovered. Here we present the results from the physicochemical examination of the collection using a combination of non-destructive techniques, namely optical microscopy, portable X-Ray Fluorescence, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Infrared spectroscopy (IR) techniques. The analyses resulted in the chemical characterization of the glass samples and the identification of a rare example of soda plant-ash glass. Moreover, madder lake was identified as the original content of several glass vessels. Finally, the effect of the original content on the corrosion processes was investigated, along with issues of biocorrosion. Statement of significance The interdisciplinary study of an assemblage of 2nd-3rd c. AD Roman funerary vessel glasses from Patras, Greece is reported. The archaeological and archaeometric study of Roman glass in south and central Greece has so far been limited. The present work is the first attempt to examine the complete chaîne opératoire of Roman funerary glass vessels, using a multi-technique approach. More specifically, the basic aims of the study were (1) the chemical characterization of the glass and the determination of the raw materials used; (2) the determination of the original content of the vessels; and (3) the examination of the corrosion effects on the glass.
研究来自希腊帕特雷的罗马随葬器皿玻璃收藏:跨学科的特征和使用研究
在希腊亚该亚(Achaia)帕特雷市(Patras)的一个罗马墓葬遗址的抢救发掘中,发现了一组公元2 -3世纪的高质量玻璃器皿。在这里,我们展示了使用非破坏性技术,即光学显微镜,便携式x射线荧光,扫描电子显微镜和红外光谱(IR)技术组合对收集的物理化学检查的结果。分析结果对玻璃样品进行了化学表征,并鉴定出一种罕见的纯碱植物灰玻璃。此外,madder lake被确定为几个玻璃容器的原始内容。最后,研究了原始成分对腐蚀过程的影响,以及生物腐蚀问题。本文报道了对希腊帕特雷出土的公元2 -3世纪罗马丧葬器皿玻璃的跨学科研究。到目前为止,对希腊南部和中部罗马玻璃的考古和考古研究是有限的。目前的工作是第一次尝试使用多种技术方法来检查罗马丧葬玻璃器皿的完整cha ne opacimatoire。更具体地说,研究的基本目的是:(1)玻璃的化学特性和所用原料的确定;(二)容器原含量的确定;(3)对玻璃腐蚀效果的检查。
