TY - JOUR TI - Archaeometric Studies on the Characterization and Deteriorations of Glass Artifacts of Su Terazisi and Kral Kızı Regions in Enez (Ainos) Excavation AB - Archaeometric investigations were carried out to determine and correlate the chemical contents with the layers ofdeterioration of the 19 glass finds dating to the Roman Period uncovered from Su Terazisi and Kral Kızı Regions of Enez(Ainos) ancient city. The physical condition of glass finds was firstly examined, the layers of deterioration on the glasssurface were documented with photographs, their thickness was measured with a digital thickness meter, their colorswere identified by a chromameter, and images of the bubbles and deterioration products were taken under an opticalmicroscope. When the deterioration layers of the samples belonging to the Roman Period were examined visuallyand with an optical microscope, the types of deterioration resulting from the chemical composition of the glass, suchas iridescence, dulling, black discoloration and pitting were identified. A table was created of the existing degree ofdeterioration. Micro-XRF and Polarized Energy Dispersive-X-Ray Fluorescence (PED-XRF), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectrometry (SEM-EDS), and Raman (Confocal) Spectroscopy methods were used to determine theelement and mineralogical contents, and the deterioration layer of the glass samples. When all the archaeometric resultswere evaluated, it was revealed that there was a difference between the bulk glass and the deterioration layers.
