This edited volume offers archaeologists and archaeometrists the
latest technical information, the fundamentals of provenance
studies, instrumentation used in these investigations, and
strategies for the dating and interpretation of archaeological
materials in glass studies. The contributors discuss recent
advances in obsidian hydration dating, secondary ion mass
spectrometry, and infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy, focusing on
the application of these technologies to a variety of glass forms
and incorporating studies that look at the social and economic
strategies of past cultures. With examples from Greece, the Middle
East, Italy, Peru, Bolivia, Russia, Africa, and the Pacific region,
provenance studies look at regional patterns of glass acquisition,
production, and exchange, providing examples that use one or more
instrumental methods to characterize materials from ancient
societies. Extensive figures and tables included.
