Research Abstract |
Portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometer was developed and ancient glass was analyzed by using the spectrometer in China, Inida, Croatia, Syria, Turkey, and Egypt as well as in museums. Our analysis revealed that glass excavated from Japanese Kofun came from Asian countries such as China, Thailand, and India. Glass discovered in Byodoin was found to be lead glass of Nara type and potassium lead glass produced using the technique from China. Our analytical data also revealed aspects of east-west trade around Mediterranean sea regions.
