ABSTRACT

The chemical composition of glass artifacts has an important impact on ancient glass artifacts, this paper explores the various chemical compositions of the artifacts' surfaces by studying the changing law of the chemical composition ratio of the two glass artifacts' surfaces after being affected by weathering and classifying the ancient glass into subclasses. This paper firstly adopts the random forest classification method to explore how to distinguish the chemical composition of high-potassium glass and lead-barium glass to a greater extent under different weathering situations, and finds that SrO2 is the largest determinant for distinguishing the two kinds of glass after weathering, and BaO is the main indicator for determining the category before weathering. In addition, box plots were drawn in the overall dimension to preliminarily screen out reasonable chemical compositions for subclassification. Finally, the k-means clustering method was applied to establish the subclass division model, in which the k values of the model were all taken as 2. BaO was taken for subclass division in lead-barium glass, and Al2O3 was taken for subclass division in high-potassium glass, respectively.
