In this work different microanalytical techniques were used to study archaeological glass objects and model glasses. The homogeneity of standards was checked, optimal measuring conditions were stipulated and quantitative procedures were chosen. During excavations of the archaeol…
In order to reduce the use of landfilling within waste management great emphasis is being placed on waste reduction and recycling. Each year in the UK approximately 2.5 Mt of waste glass is produced and approximately half of this waste is not recyclable. Therefore alternative wa…
The development of glass substrates for use as an alternative to printed circuit boards (PCBs) attracts significant industrial attention, because of the potential for low cost but high performance interconnects and optical connection. Electroless plating is currently used to dep…
Embedding screenprinted transfers is one of several processes that can be used by artists as a means of expression to decorate blown glass forms. When screenprinted transfers are embedded into layers of glass and inflated, the imagery can be affected by a number of factors that …
The structure of molten Au0.81Si0.19, Au0.72Ge0.28 and Ag0.74Ge0.26 alloys with a composition at or near to the eutectic was investigated by using neutron diffraction (ND). The results suggest that the Au-Au distance in the alloys is similar to that of liquid Au, there is a pref…
This practice-led research investigates the feasibility of combining glass and ceramics in a hot state, as a means of artistic expression in studio practice. Glass and ceramics have many related material qualities and are processed in similar ways. Chemically they are alike howe…
The artisans in the royal workshops at Malkata produced faience with a level of skill previously unknown and later, equaled only in the workshops at Amarna. The corpus for this study was a collection of small finds from Malkata excavated by Robb de Peyster Tytus during the 1901-…
Applications of lead and strontium isotope analysis were made on archaeological materials from three different contexts in both the Old and New Worlds. These materials comprised pre-Hispanic glaze painted ceramics from Arizona, U.S.A., glass beads from late first millennium AD I…
Traces, presents real, traced, printed and projected marks, sourced from the communal printmaking studios at the University of Arizona. It is a combination of printmaking, glass, and light projection. The exhibition consists of three parts; 8 wall mounted, plastic drypoint plate…
