Tech/Engineering - Geology / Lead glass
German term or phrase: Bleiisotopiemessungen
Hello

I'm struggling with the above term.

Whole sentence: Über Bleiisotopiemessungen konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass die gleiche Bleiquelle für das wood ash lead glass und das high lead glass in Westdeutschland und die beiden Glastypen aus Erfurt genutzt wurde.

Thanks in advance!

lead isotope measurements


Explanation:
Lead isotopes can be used to compare the sources of different materials.
Example: "Particularly in the Bronze Age Mediterranean Lead Isotope Analysis has been a useful tool for determining the sources of metals and an important indicator of trade patterns." see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotope_analysis
