“It found that the light yellow beads were made with natron, a chemical used to melt glass “

It’s bad writing, the chemical doesn’t actually melt glass, it’s just used in glass-making. You’d still need a glass kiln to melt the silicon-natron mixture.

Natron is another name for sodium hydroxide. Nasty stuff.
