Hellenistic Glazed Wares From Athens and Southern Italy
S The original intention of the project, conceived in the context of the British School at Rome's excavation and survey programme in the Bradano basin (based on Gravina) was to establish the composition patterns of Hellenistic glazed wares from sites in southern Apulia, and then to use these to trace the trading patterns of the area, against a control group of sherds from the Athenian Agora. It proved possible to distinguish Attic from Apulian sh…
Copper and Copper Alloys in Ancient Turkey
S This note presents some new analyses for 13 early copper and bronze artefacts from Turkey in the Collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. They were not included in a small programme of early copper and bronze objects from Iraq, Syria and Palestine (Moorey and Schweizer 1972, Archaeometry 14 (2), 177–198) and conclude this pilot‐project
Clay Analyses of Archaic Greek Pottery
The study of Greek pottery of the Archaic period has reached the point at which most groups can be identified on stylistic grounds alone and confidently assigned to their place of manufacture, while in some groups works of individual studios, painters, and potters can be detected. There remain, however, both many problem pieces whose origin is disputed or unknown, and some major classes about which, for example, it is still possible to argue whet…
The History of So‐called Egyptian Faience in Islamic Persia
S The glazes and bodies of fifteen Persian ceramic objects datable to c. A.D. 1300 were analysed by X‐ray fluorescent and optical emission spectroscopyin order to test the veracity of parts of Abū'l‐Qāsim's treatise on pottery manufacture. The results showed that the bodies of these pots were closely akin to so‐called Egyptian faience, and it is suggested on the basis of textual evidence that this body was used in Persia before the Seljuq period …
X‐ray Fluorescence Analysis of Museum Objects
S A new X‐ray fluorescent analyser is described which uses a miniature X‐ray tube or radioisotope source as alternative means of primary excitation. The advantages of this approach as compared to previous methods, particularly where elements low in the periodic table are concerned, is discussed. The second part of the paper describes an application of the technique. The non‐destructive analysis of valuable ceramics, where elements low in the peri…
X‐ray Fluorescent Analysis of Anglo Saxon Jewellery
S X‐ray fluorescence analysis of 30 pieces of Anglo Saxon jewellery, from the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, is followed by a comparison with similar results obtained from contemporary coinage. The standards of fineness for the coinage are applied to the jewellery and used to date its manufacture. An appendix describes repeatanalyses of some coins which, at first, had widely differing results from XRF and specific gravity methods
Copper and Copper Alloys in Ancient Iraq, Syria and Palestine
S In a pilot‐programme to increase evidence for the history of copper‐alloying in ancient Iraq, Syria and Palestine 128 objects in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, were tested with a point‐source linear X‐ray spectrometer for tin, arsenic and antimony. These analyses showed the gradual introduction of tin‐copper alloys into Iraq after ca . 2750 b.c. (Early Dynastic IIIA), into Syria a little later and into Palestine by the end of the third millenniu…
Comparison of Methods of Analysis of Silver and Gold in Silver Coins
S A series of silver coins was analysed for silver and gold contents by three methods—chemical wet analysis, activation analysis and X‐ray fluorescence using a point source linear spectrometer (milliprobe). The results indicate that while the X‐ray fluorescence technique gives better agreement with chemical analysis for major components the use of activation analysis with automated equipment results in a considerable saving of time and has a high…
