Abstracts

EN

In this paper, results of melting experiment of tektites are presented. Tektites from four strewnfields: North American, Central European, Ivory Coast and Australasian were used. The fragments of investigated tektites were heated in oxide atmosphere in 1100oC in two time intervals: 5 and 120 minutes. The temperature of 1100oC is too low for completely melting of the studied material despite to heating in the same conditions but in small area (eg. in a spot).
