Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Specially-adapted radiation monitoring film is used to detect the natural radioactivity of the characteristic potash content of the glass, using a three-month exposure. Glass of 12th to 15th century date is cheaply and reliably distinguished from that of 18th-19th century; glass of 16th and 17th centuries occupies the middle range of activity. A scintillation probe, while giving good immediate results, requires a low level of background radiation. | ||||||
