Abstract
The glasses from Mesolithic artifacts had a melting point of ~ 1400°. Chemical analyses gave SiO<sub>2</sub> 33. 90-53.69, A1<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> 16. 72-34.58, CaO 24.93-29.75 (CaO + SiO<sub>2</sub> + A1<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> always gte 94), MgO 0.74-2.82, TiO<sub>2</sub> 0.84-3.27, Na<sub>2</sub>O 0.05-0.09, K<sub>2</sub>O 0.06-0.99, MnO 0.12-0.72, and FeO É46 0. 19%. Infrared data suggested the absence of water. -- AATA
