Multi‐analytical study of CLAY tobacco pipes from Nditam (Centre Cameroon, west Central Africa)
This paper presents a chemical, mineralogical, textural, and physical characterization of 11 ceramic pipes (1,487–1,603 AD) from Nditam, Cameroon, with the aim of understanding their manufacture and the origin of the raw materials. Macroscopically, the pipes appear heterogeneous in terms of colour, shape, size, and decoration. From the chemical point of view, the samples were made from raw material rich in SiO 2 (50–60 wt.%) and poor in CaO (0.1–…
Characterization of Tuyères from Lekie Division, Centre Cameroon (West Central Africa): Raw Materials and Ironworking Processes
Clayey materials for traditional bricks production in North-Eastern Italy through a combined compositional study: From firing dynamics to provenance
The compositional study of two main types of clayey materials outcropping nearby Padua (Veneto region, north-eastern Italy) and bricks used in historical constructions of the city is here addressed. Mineralogically, the clayey materials are illitic-chloritc clays, both non-carbonatic and carbonatic/highly-carbonatic clays, that chemically correspond to clays with important contents of silica and/or iron and of calcium and/or magnesium, respective…
Roman brick production technologies in Padua (Northern Italy) along the Late Antiquity and Medieval Times: Durable bricks on high humid environs
Production technologies of Roman to Medieval times bricks on the city of Padua were addressed by means of a multi-analytical approach, consisting in Spectrophotometry, X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), Powder X-Ray Diffraction (PXRD), Polarized Optical Microscopy (POM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDS). The Early-Christian (5-6th centuries) and Romanesque (12-13th centuries) areas of the Basilica of Saint Justine of Padua (5/6-16th centuries), a…

Production technology of late Roman decorated tableware from the Vesuvius environs: Evidence from Pollena Trocchia (Campania region, Italy)
The northern slope of Mt. Vesuvius contains some interesting archaeological sites, including the site discovered in the town of Pollena Trocchia , where the remains, dated to between the 79 and 472 CE eruptions, document the transition from the Roman to late Roman cultural and socioeconomic settings. Profound changes occurred in this time interval, which can be inferred from changes in the ceramic manufacturing processes. Common wares, as the mos…

Análisis de alteraciones murarias y modificaciones relacionales en dos áreas del palacio de Pedro I del Alcázar de Sevilla mediante estudio documental y verificación termográfica
El palacio de Pedro I, dentro del Real Alcázar de Sevilla, es un elemento de gran importancia en el urbanismo sevillano. Se dirige esta investigación a esclarecer las intervenciones llevadas a cabo en los vestíbulos de entrada al palacio y en la zona este del Patio de las Doncellas, de forma que se pueda comprender cómo influyeron estos cambios en la compleja articulación de los espacios de la planta baja del palacio en el siglo XIX. Se ha realiz…
Local production and imitations of Late Roman pottery from a well in the Roman necropolis of Cuma in Naples, Italy
Archaeological excavations performed in a funerary complex in Cuma (Campania region, Italy) unearthed excellently preserved common wares dated to the third century A.D. Archaeometric analyses were focused on Campanian pitchers, Aegean‐like cooking pots, and pyriform pitchers, the latter recorded for the first time in an Italian context. The local pitchers were manufactured with a high‐CaO clay (CaO = ca. 12 wt.%) and local volcanic temper, fired …
Raw Materials for Archaeological Pottery from the Campania Region of Italy: A Petrophysical Characterization
We performed petrophysical analyses on 34 clayey samples of different geological origin within the Campania region of Italy in order to determine possible sources of raw materials used to produce ancient pottery. Possible raw material sources can be grouped into high‐CaO clays (HCC) and low‐CaO clays (LCC). HCC are mainly represented by more recent (Miocene‐Pleistocene) basinal sediments whereas LCC tend to be associated with basinal, alluvial, a…

Iberian Ceramic Production From Basti (Baza, Spain): First Geochemical, Mineralogical and Textural Characterization
Ceramic fragments from the archaeological excavation of the Iberian–Roman city of Basti (Spain) were studied from a geochemical point of view and by applying a statistical tool to X‐ray fluorescence data to discover similarities between ceramic materials. The analysis of these samples was completed by performing a mineralogical analysis, textural observation, and by characterizing the porous system and the colour of the pieces. Our results enable…

Durability of bricks used in the conservation of historic buildings - influence of composition and microstructure
Carbonate and silicate phase reactions during ceramic firing
Mineralogical, textural and chemical analyses of clay-rich materials following firing, evidence that initial mineralogical differences between two raw materials (one with carbonates and the other without) influence the textural and mineralogical evolution of the ceramics as T increases from 700 to 1100°C. Mineralogical and textural changes are interpreted considering local marked disequilibria in a system that resembles a small-scale high-T metam…
