Abstract
The concentration of uranium impurities in a variety of ancient man-made glasses has been determined by counting the sites of neutron-induced fissions. There appears to be a chronological trend from low to high and back to low uranium contents over the past three millenia. Crude estimates of ages by fission track counting should be possitive with considerable labor for the group of glasses that was found to have the highest concentration of uranium.
