The vitrified wall of Broborg hillfort in Uppland, Sweden – Response to the comments by Mr. Anders Bornfalk Back
The authors thank Mr. Anders Bornfalk Back for reading Sjöblom et al. (2022) and for presenting his comments. We also thank the Editor for granting the authors the opportunity to respond. We have chosen to limit our comments to some of what is said in the sources quoted, including Sjöblom et al. (2022)
Best billiard ball in the 19th century
The demystification of how 19th-century novelly designed materials became significant elements of modern technological, economic, and cultural life requires a complete understanding of the material dimensions of historical artifacts. The objects frequently described as the earliest manufactured plastic products-the billiard balls made by John Wesley Hyatt and his associates from the late 1860s-are examined closely for the first time and are found…
Assessment of the reason for the vitrification of a wall at a hillfort. The example of Broborg in Sweden
It was discovered around 250 years ago that some of the rock material in the walls of some hillforts had been subjected to such high temperature that it had vitrified. This prompted a debate as to the reason for it that is still going on today: did the vitrification come about as a result of hostile action, by accident, or for the purpose of constructing the fort? The present paper is based on the recognition that hillforts are different, and the…
The Anoka, Minnesota iron meteorite as parent to Hopewell meteoritic metal beads from Havana, Illinois
Microbeam characterization of corning archeological reference glasses
An initial study of the minor element, trace element, and impurities in Corning archeological references glasses have been performed using three microbeam techniques: electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), laser ablation ICP-mass spectrometry (LA ICP-MS), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The EPMA results suggest a significant level of heterogeneity for a number of metals. Conversely, higher precision and a larger sampling volume analysis…
