Plausible Inferences from Ceramic Artifacts
Ceramic artifact examination requires evaluation, either implicitly or explictly, of conjectures (hypotheses, postulates) from which more or less credible inferences can be deduced and tested. The nature of the induction process and the nature of artifact data are discussed in order to evaluate the sorts of inferences with which we are concerned, and how we may hope to achieve a higher degree of credibility for the plausible inferences that we de…

The Beginnings of Pyrotechnology
Characterization of pre-pottery Neolithic and Egyptian plasters has been carried out, with emphasis on microstructural observations with the scanning electron microscope. Samples from Asikli Hüyük, Çayönü Tepesi, Tell Ramad, and Jericho were examined; the results show that true lime plasters were utilized in the aceramic Neolithic. The quantity of material used and the temperature necessary for limestone calcination imply that some sort of crude …

The Firing Temperature of a Karanova Sherd and Inferences about South-East European Chalcolithic Refractory Technology

A Note on the Differential Thermal Analysis of Archaeological Ceramics
S Evidence is presented that the clay in ancient ware fired at a temperature below 700–800°C becomes rehydrated over the millennia, such that it behaves somewhat like an unfired clay, rendering DTA a useful tool in identifying the clay minerals present. More recent samples can be artificially rehydrated by heating in a steam autoclave
