The Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts' Science for Art Spring 2019 Speaker Series welcomes Patrick Degryse on April 10th for his talk "The Origins of Antimony as a Raw Material in Metal and Vitreous Materials Making: Yellow Glass and Gold from the Bronze Age to the Romans."
The origins of man-made materials, and determining the provenance of the minerals used in making them, are crucial to the study of ancient societies. Join us for a talk to discuss the primary origin of the Sb raw materials used in several technological processes such as glass making and metal alloying.
Patrick Degryse is professor at the department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and director of the Centre for Archaeological Sciences at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium), and professor of Archaeometry at the faculty of Archaeology in Leiden University (the Netherlands). He is also Visiting Fellow at All Souls College in Oxford, and A. von Humboldt Fellow and European Research Council Grantee.
Full Abstract:
The history and technology of ancient man-made materials has always been an essential part of archaeological research. Especially the origin of raw materials, their transformation into objects and their exchange/trade have been topics of investigation. As soon as analysis techniques from the geosciences were invented, they were introduced to archaeology. However, unpredictable human behavior necessitates a careful interpretation of geochemical data. Some techniques in archaeological science have been abandoned by the sheer difficulty in finding the right questions to answer… Nevertheless, the origins of man-made materials, and determining the provenance of the minerals used in making them, are crucial to the study of ancient societies. This talk discusses the primary origin of the Sb raw materials used in several technological processes such as glass making and metal alloying. Through a mineralogical and chemical/isotopic characterisation of different Sb-rich ores from various regions, the origin of the mineral resources used for the glass craft is compared with the development of Cu and Sb metallurgy, in order to reveal the possible interrelation of these two industries.
