Abstract
An understanding of corrosion processes is beneficial in the preservation of ancient ceramic artifacts. A wealth of information is available on this topic in the materials science and engineering literature. Significant contributions to the corrosion literature have been made over the lst 15 years due to the extensive research performed on nuclear wasteform systems. This paper will review the current state of understanding of aqueous corrosion of glasses. We will discuss how this information can be applied to some of the current issues in preservation of archaeological ceramics. -- CAL
