Abstract
Patina on ancient glass holds potential to interpreting formative environments climatically, pedogenically, hydrologically, hydro chemically, and biologically and, in more recent times, has the potential to interpreting sub-recent formative environments. In addition to experimental information, if patina is to be used as reliable indicators of past environmental conditions, there also needs to be a systematic examination of its development under a variety of fieldoriented conditions using varying glass types, i.e., various climate and soil types. We believe that it is useful to document the weathering effects on glass under a variety of field conditions, and this paper focuses on the range of patination in different environmental settings.
