Archaeometric investigation of pottery from funerary gifts in Kal‐e Chendar, Shami (Khuzestan, Iran)
Thirty fragments of red slip, glazed, common and cooking ware from Hellenistic and Parthian tombs at Kal‐e Chendar in Shami (Iran) were investigated. Petrographic assemblage and chemometric evaluation of chemical data collected most samples in a large cluster, suggesting a common provenance, even in a quite wide area which includes Izeh plain and lowland Susiana, and underlining the presence of smaller very distinguished groupings. Surface finish…
Stucco and clay in the decoration of the monumental buildings of Old Nisa
Unlike the terracotta decoration and the clay sculpture, the stucco production in Old Nisa has been only marginally studied. This is mainly due to the scarcity of figured materials available. Anyhow, recent excavations1 have unearthed some fragments of sculptures in stucco and clay, along with double-moulds in gypsum mortar that shed new light on techniques for the manufacturing of sculptures. The manufacturing process of a sculpture is similar f…
Accuracy improvement by means of porosity assessment and standards optimization in SEM-EDS and XRF elemental analyses on archaeological and historical pottery and porcelain
XRF Characterization Of 18th Century Piedmontese Porcelains From The Palazzo Madama Museum (Torino, Italy)
Around 100 porcelain objects of the 18th century Rossetti, Vische and Vinovo manufactures (Piedmont, Italy) from the Palazzo Madama Museum collection were analysed by means of an X‐ray fluorescence portable detector. The present study represents the first chemical characterization of these early (1737–1825) European porcelains. Chemical composition data were submitted to multivariate clustering techniques that underscored a complete classificatio…
Characterization of Late Prehistoric Plasters and Mortars from Erimi – Laonin tou Porakou (Limassol, Cyprus)
Several plasters and mortars from the Middle Bronze Age site of Erimi – Laonin tou Porakou (Cyprus) were analysed in order to perform a technological characterization. Morphological (SEM), elemental (EDX), mineralogical (XRPD), petrographic (polarized OM, SEM–EDX), thermal (TGA) and spectroscopic (FT–IR) techniques were applied. Plasters and mortars were identified as pyrotechnological lime products, obtained using local raw materials and contain…
