Carremans, J. Honings, T. Fenn, F. Cattin Chapter 7 Conclusions P. Degryse Appendix A Sampling locations, elemental compositions of the analysed sand samples as determined by ICP-;OES analysis, LOI results, results of the Sr and Nd isotopic analysis and trace element analysis results. Appendix B Calculated glass compositions after raising the Na2O levels of the sands to 16.63%, the average Na2O content of Roman natron glass (Foster and Jackson, 2009). Appendix C Calculated glass compositions after raising the CaO levels of the sands containing insuffi cient lime to 7.48%, the average CaO content of Roman natron glass (Foster and Jackson, 2009).
