- Abstract
This article presents concerns of authors with objections put forward by Rehren and Shortland to the cupellation litharge theory. Rehren notes that these authors' statement on Habuba Kabira, Syria analyses in the Archaeometry publication was potentially misleading. Efforts of these authors was to indicate that lead antimonate was observed in Habuba Kabira litharge and not to comment on the antimony content of that specific sample. Elevated aluminum and magnesium contents are not observed in the Malkata yellow opaque glasses, but elevated iron contents are (average (Fe) 2 (O) 3 content for the yellow glasses is 0.73 wt, for the white glasses it is 0.45 wt), it seems reasonable to call the raw material in question cupellation litharge and not cupellation hearth material.
