N2 - Systematic investigation of the 16th century glasses of Ljubljana is motivated by the spread of Italian glass-working technology into central Europe. The glass was probed using the external beam PIXE technique due to its non-destructiveness. Initial test measurements were performed by the methods of PIGE, XRF, electron probe microanalysis, and LA–ICP–MS. The PIXE data were evaluated statistically using the principal component analysis and minimizing the stress function. The manufacturing procedures were indicated by the Rb/Sr content in the glass: the investigated glasses were mainly produced with the ash (not potash) of halophitic plants.
