Description
Summary:[EN] In recent years Archaeometry has become an essential ally to study ancient glasses found in archaeological sites. As an example of this fruitful alliance, the results derived from an archaeometric study undertaken on a set of glass beads from Iron Age archaeological sites located in western Poland and southern Germany and dated from sixth to fourth centuries B.C. are presented in this contribution. The study has provided outstanding information on their chemical composition, their production technology, and their current state of conservation. Such data have been of great utility to determine their probable geographic provenance and to assess their socio-economic meaning.
