  • Mineralogical and Geochemical Constraints on the Sediment Sources of Late Stone Age Pottery from the Birimi Site, Northern Ghana

    Open AccessJ Victor Owens, Joanna Casey et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2013Citada por: 3Referências: 5

    The mineralogy and bulk chemical compositions of 15 Kintampo (Late Stone Age) potsherds from the Birimi site on the Gambaga Escarpment and eight samples of local sediment were determined with the intent of characterizing these wares and identifying the material used in their manufacture. Sediment from clay pits still used by potters north of the escarpment contains iron‐rich laterite clasts (100 × XFeO t = 100 × FeO t /[FeO t + Al 2 O 3 + SiO 2 ]…

  • Microstructures of phosphatic porcelain from sintering to vitrification

    Open AccessJ Victor Owens, Robert Hunter et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2011Citada por: 1Referências: 5

    Eight phosphatic porcelain sherds recovered from various historical sites in Charleston were analyzed by electron microprobe. Some sherds contain sulfur (2.3–3.1wt.% SO 3 ); others contain only traces of this component. The analytical data suggest that the sulfurous sherds are Bow porcelain (London, Bowcock period, ca. 1755–1769). The origin(s) of the low‐S samples remains unidentified; one compositionally resembles “gold‐anchor period” (phosphat…

  • Influence of Potsdam sandstone on the trace element signatures of some 19th‐century American and Canadian glass

    Open AccessJ Victor Owens, John D GreenoughARTICLEGeoarchaeology2008Citada por: 1

    Potsdam sandstone from quarries and outcrops near 19th‐century glassworks sites in Redwood, NY, and Saranac, NY, Mallorytown, ON, and Como and Hudson, QC, commonly contains _97% silica, so in terms of its purity can compete with other historical producers of silica sand (e.g., Cheshire quartzite, MA; southern New Jersey sand). Exploratory analysis of trace element data using multidimensional scaling (MDS) shows that geographically distinct source…

  • Pyrometamorphism of 19th‐century kiln artifacts from Caledonia Springs, Ontario, Canada

    Open AccessJ Victor Owens, Phil CulhaneARTICLEGeoarchaeology2005Referências: 4

    Marked, 19th‐century kiln bricks and rocks from Caledonia Springs (CS) have black glass coatings that can easily be mistaken for glass produced at the elusive CS glassworks (c. 1844–1846). The glass‐on‐brick material, however, is more aluminous (nearly 20% Al 2 O 3 ) than virtually any analyzed historical glass, and the glass‐on‐rock is compositionally similar to the rock itself, which shows clear signs of having undergone extensive melting. Mine…

  • From London to Liverpool

    Open AccessJ Victor Owens, Maurice HillisARTICLEGeoarchaeology2003Citada por: 1Referências: 8

    The diversity of Brownlow Hill porcelains of the W m Reid & Co. era is due to the remarkably wide range in the composition of their pastes and glazes and inferred firing conditions relative to the initial vitrification temperature. Sixteen of 21 analyzed sherds from the factory site are bone‐ash wares that display large variations in their bulk chemical composition. The remaining samples have silicious‐aluminous (akin to “stone china” sensu Richa…

  • A rose by any other name

    J Victor Owens, J VICTOR OWEN et al.ARTICLEPost-Medieval Archaeology2003

    Compositional data for sherds from various Shropshire factory sites show that at the Coalport works, John Rose and colleagues produced two types of true porcelain that differed in their phosphate content, and bone-ash porcelain. The low-phosphate true porcelain is compositionally similar to its Caughley counterpart; there is, however, no knwn analogue to the relatively phosphatic (0.7–2.7 wt.% P2O5) true porcelain, which appears to have been prod…

  • Geochemical and mineralogical distinctions between Bonnin and Morris (Philadelphia, 1770–1772) porcelain and some contemporary British phosphatic wares

    Open AccessJ Victor OwensARTICLEGeoarchaeology2001Citada por: 2Referências: 7

    The major element compositions of 15 ceramic sherds from the Bonnin and Morris factory site were determined by electron microprobe. Thirteen samples are phosphatic; the others consist of (a) “soapstone” (magnesian/plombian) and (b) true porcelain, and are interpreted as exotic artifacts, as is one compositionally distinct (relatively SiO 2 ‐poor, P 2 O 5 +CaO‐rich) phosphatic sample. Although long considered to be virtually indistinguishable from…

  • The origin and use of basalt in Old Kingdom funerary temples

    Open AccessLeanne M Mallory‐Greenough, Leanne M Mallory-Greenough et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2000

    Conventional petrographic analysis suggests that basalts in Old Kingdom funerary temples are mineralogically and texturally similar to the Haddadin basalt flow of northern Egypt. To affirm that the Haddadin flow is the stone source, a total of 88 augite and 74 plagioclase electron microprobe analyses were obtained from two Abu Sir (Sahure, Fifth Dynasty) and three Giza (Khufu, Fourth Dynasty) temple paving stone samples and compared to all known,…

  • Nicholas Crisp's “Porcellien”

    Open AccessJ Victor Owens, J VICTOR OWEN et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2000

    The character of porcelain wares made by Nicholas Crisp early and late in his career was assessed using microchemical and petrographic data for sherds excavated from the sites of the factories he operated at Vauxhall and Bovey Tracey. The results indicate that, over time, Crisp increasingly made use of diverse types of pastes as he struggled to produce a commercially viable line of porcelain. Based on the analysis of a limited number of samples, …

  • Sagged phosphatic Nantgarw porcelain (ca. 1813-1820)

    Open AccessJ Victor Owens, J VICTOR OWEN et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology1999Referências: 6

    Nantgarw phosphatic (bone-ash) porcelain (ca. 1813–1820) is renowned for its translucency and the high quality of its enamel decoration. However, only a small proportion of its wares (perhaps 10%) were successfully fired due to sagging (body distortion) and other problems. This indicates that: (1) In terms of its potential for generating a minimum melt, the Nantgarw paste had an unusually fertile composition, or (2) Nantgarw's staff had difficult…

  • Fingerprinting Ancient Egyptian Quarries

    Open AccessLeanne M Mallory‐Greenough, John D Greenough et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry1999Citada por: 1Referências: 15

    Microchemical analysis of minerals present in pottery and stone artefacts may help determine their provenance. Electron microprobe major element analyses of augite suggest that minor elements (Ti0 2 ,MnO, Aa 2 O) are important in fingerprinting basalts. This points to the potential usefulness of trace elements. Augite present in six basalt samples (representing all known/suspected Pharaonic basalt quarries in northern and middle Egypt) and basalt…

  • Assessing and correcting the effects of the chemical weathering of potsherds

    Open AccessJ Victor Owens, J VICTOR OWEN et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology1998

    Unglazed soft-paste porcelain wasters from the Longton Hall factory site are variably depleted (75–80 rel %) in CaO relative to comparatively insoluble components (e.g., Al2O3, TiO2) due to the dissolution of wollastonite (CaSiO3, a pyroxenoid) by subsurface water. The degree of desilicification is variable (0–45 rel % SiO2). Petrographic data and element-abundance plots suggest that these were the principal effects of the chemical weathering pro…

  • Provenance of temper in a New Kingdom Egyptian pottery sherd

    Open AccessLeanne M Mallory‐Greenough, Leanne M Mallory-Greenough et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology1998Referências: 11

    A New Kingdom spinning bowl from Karnak (Luxor) Egypt is similar in form to spinning bowls commonly found at other Egyptian sites and has a bulk chemical composition in the range for other Egyptian marl vessels. These data support a domestic origin. The matrix of the bowl contains unaltered, sand-sized, mafic rock fragments with volcanic, subophitic textures. Over 20% of the sand-sized grains consist of angular, unweathered rock fragments, and of…
