“…The data presented in this study shows no significant correlation between MnO and Ba (r = 0.285). Sb contents of more than 37,500 ppm (4.99% Sb 2 O 5 ) have been reported for natron glass (Arletti et al, 2006). Most of the sands analysed in this study contain low concentrations of Sb, i.e., below 1.4 ppm.…”

“…-The plot was corrected, the number of samples is 15 Table 1: For not to be mistaken between "not determined" and "not detected", please define "n.d." -A new table (1) with the whole chemical data was added. The explanation of the abbreviation is given in the caption, Reviewer #2: The content and layout of the manuscript are in line with previous papers published by the two first Authors in Archaeometry-focused Journals -namely, references [3][4][5][6], [15,16], [22]. Beyond a few specific suggestions that follow, a more detailed physical discussion of XANES data is recommended for a publication in Applied Physics A.…”

A XANES study of chromophores in archaeological glass

Abstract:We applied X-ray Absorption Near Edge Spectroscopy (XANES) to obtain information on the origin of glass color of several archaeological samples and on the oxidation conditions employed during their production. We studied a series of selected glass fragments mainly from excavated primary and secondary production centers and dated to the first millennium AD containing iron and manganese in a wide compositional range. In most of the studied samples iron is rather oxidized, while Mn K-edge XANES data show that, in all the studied glass, Mn is mainly present in its reduced form (predominantly 2+), with the possible subordinate presence of Mn3+. The most oxidized samples are the HIMT (High Iron Manganese Titanium) glasses, while the less oxidized belong to the primary natron glass series from the early Islamic tank furnaces at Bet Eliezer (Israel), and to the series coming from a Roman glass workshop excavated in Basinghall Street, London. In these glasses, iron is approximately equally distributed over the 2+ and 3+ oxidation states. The XANES analyses of two glass which had been deliberately decolorized using Sb-and Mnbased decolorizers, demonstrate that Sb is more effective than Mn as oxidant.Response to Reviewers: Torino 04/10/12Dear Editor please find enclosed the revised version of the manuscript APYA-D-12-00685 "A XANES study of chromophores in archaeological glass." by Rossella Arletti, Simona Quartieri and Ian Freestone, modified after the reviewers' comments. All the points raised by the reviewers are commented in the following. Editor:The manuscript may look just as "another paper reporting the study of ancient glasses from other provenances" once the novelty eventually contained in the submitted manuscript is not dully emphasized. Beyond complementing the reported chemical data, a more detailed physical discussion of XANES results would help support the submission of the manuscript to Applied Physics A, Materials Science & Processing.-A table with the whole chemical analyses of all the samples was provided -some more details have been added to the description of the method adopted for the determination of Fe oxidation state. Powered by Editorial Manager® and Preprint Manager® from Aries Systems CorporationReviewer #1: Page 2, line 57-58: It would benefit the readers to include a reference of using arsenic to control the color due to Fe oxidation state as I found it is less common than antimony and manganese for the same role.-As far as we are aware, arsenic was not used regularly as a decolorant in glass until the eighteenth century AD in Bohemia. It was used on a regular basis in the nineteenth century (see Dungworth D, 2011. The Value of Historic Window Glass. The Historic Environment 2, 21-48). This reference has been added to the manuscript.Page 3, line 26: Please delete a space before the last bracket.-The text was corrected according to the referee suggestion Page 3, line 30: Please use a comma between 20 and 21.-The text was corrected according to the referee suggestion Page 4, line 13: The...

“…or metal nanoclusters (like Cu, Au, Ag) have a very interesting history [1][2][3][4]. Both the copper-and gold-ruby glasses, in particular, have captured sustained interest of mankind since the Roman times due to their distinctive red color and their fabrication and investigation of the origin of red color still continue to be an interesting branch of glass research [5][6][7][8][9]. Although Au and Cu rubies had initially received significant importance for their applications as decorative items and red filter glasses, but with the introduction of selenium based ruby glasses [10], their commercial importance as filter glass started to diminish gradually.…”
