This paper proposes a method for the classification and identification of glass artefacts based on a K-mean clustering model. Using weathered and unweathered glass with high potassium and lead-barium as the main constituent as the main samples, a cluster analysis of their chemical composition was carried out to derive subclass subdivision and extract characteristic chemical components, based on which a sub-classification model of unknown glass based on the K-mean clustering model was established to provide a new method for the identification of glass artefact types. The results were analysed for reasonableness and sensitivity, and the model was proved to be of generalisation and application value.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
