“…Several factors, particularly political upheavals in Egypt that disrupted the supply of natron Whitehouse, 2002), were probably responsible for this change. However, east of the Euphrates plant-ash glass was also manufactured during the Sasanian period, mid-3rd to early 7th century AD (Brill, 1999(Brill, , 2005Freestone, 2006;Mirti et al, 2008Mirti et al, , 2009Smith, 1963).…”

“…The Sasanian Empire ruled over a wide area ranging from the Euphrates in Iraq to current Iran and the Central Asia and Afghanistan between the 3rd and 7th centuries (224 AD-652 AD). 10 Glass workshops from this period have mostly been discovered in the north of Iran and in the southern territories of Sasanian Empire close to the Persian Gulf.…”

Visible damage on the surface of historic glass, iridescence, is developed by the influence of environmental factors during time. Iridescence is usually considered as an age indicator in historic glass. Samples from the ancient Sasanian historic site called "Tomb-e Pargan" in the Boushehr Province of Iran were subjected to microscopic analyzing with ESEM, ICP-OES, and polarization microscopy to characterize structural damages and its impact on the surface deposition. Chemical-mineralogical studies were also performed. The current investigation suggests that the iridescent layer is developed as the result of alkali ion depletion on the glass surface following the formation of a shelly layer. Due to the porosity of ancient glass surface, ions migrate and deposit continuously on the surface in the form of crust. The phenomenon causes fine lamellar structure on the surface. Samples from Tomb-e Pargan characteristically contain potassium and magnesium.

“…Estos resultados indican que las muestras tienen la composición típica de los vidrios romanos, ya que contienen SiO 2 , Na 2 O y CaO (silica, soda, lime) (García Heras et al 2005;Mirti et al 2009;Da Cruz 2009, Arletti et al 2010, y concentraciones menores de óxidos de potasio, magnesio, aluminio, titanio, hierro y manganeso. El componente principal de los vidrios es la sílice, cuyo valor medio se aproxima al 63%, valores similares a los mencionados por Schibille et al (2008Schibille et al ( , 2012 en vidrios del Oriente medio.…”

“…Otros investigadores se centran en la descripción de los procedentes de España: Herrera de Pisuerga (Palencia) (Vigil Pascual 1959), Cáceres (Caldera de Castro 1988), Cádiz (Andalucía) (Fuentes 1998), Cataluña (Carreras Rossell 1995, Galicia (Xusto Rodríguez 1996) y Aragón (Beltrán Lloris y Ortiz Palomar 2001). En la actualidad algunos grupos de investigadores han dirigido sus trabajos hacia el estudio de estos materiales para determinar su origen (García Heras et al 2005;Carmona et al 2008;Mirti et al 2009;Palomar et al 2009) o ver su interacción con medios atmosféricos, acuáticos y enterramientos (Palomar et al 2012;Palomar 2013).…”
