The Relationship of 'Volcanic Ash,' sak lu'um, and Palygorskite in Northern Yucatan Maya Ceramics
Shepard has described several principal types of temper used in pre-Hispanic ceramics in northern Yucatan. One of these, identified as 'volcanic ash,' has long been a mineralogical problem because no unequivocal deposits of volcanic materials are known to exist in the area.The possible indigenous materials that could have been identified as 'volcanic ash' have been examined and the conclusion reached that the material in question is the mineral p…
Combined Thermal and X-Ray Diffraction Technique for Identification of Ceramicware Temper and Paste Minerals
The identification of the original paste and temper minerals present in ceramicware fragments can often be useful in determining if the fragments are indigenous to the area or whether they represent tradeware. To date, it has generally been believed that no certain means existed to identify the mineral constitutents once they were destroyed in the original kiln-firing operation. A new technique is described that permits the investigator to often …
