SKLENÉ KORÁLIKY DOBY BRONZOVEJ A HALŠTATSKEJ NA SLOVENSKU A STANOVENIE ICH FYZIKÁLNYCH CHARAKTERISTÍK

Title: Sklené koráliky doby bronzovej a halštatskej na Slovensku a stanovenie ich fyzikálnych charakteristík

(Glass beads of the Bronze Age and Hallstatt Period in Slovakia and determination of their physical characteristics)

Abstract: The aim of the submitted study is to determine physical characteristics on selected groups of glass beads from the Early Bronze Age (HA) and the Hallstatt period (HC, HD) from northern, southwestern and southeastern Slovakia by means of non-destructive methods. Using a binocular magnifier, microscope, Raman spectroscopy, absorbtion spectroscopy (UV-VIS-NIR), we obtained data on the character of the glass beads’ quality. The analyzed collection of beads (from the burial grounds in Chotín, Ždaňa, Ilava, the cave settlement of Háj and the hillfort in Smolenice) contained various colour variants of glass beads (blue, green, yellow and black; brown clay or clay/ceramic beads are reported too) as well as various shapes. From the total number of analyzed beads (161 exemplars), clay or combined clay/ceramic beads are most frequent (74 exemplars). 16 exemplars were made of amber, one was made of another material and 70 exemplars were glass beads. Basic physical quantities were studied on black, blue, green and yellow glass beads.
