The provenance of cobalt in glass from the Warring States to the Qin and Han periods excavated in China and the remelting of soda-lime glass in lead-barium glass
To investigate cobalt provenance in early Chinese glass, this study statistically analyses published compositional data for cobalt-blue and comparative glass samples, focusing on finds from China dating from the Warring States to the Han period and incorporating selected comparative datasets from other regions and periods. The results reveal distinct cobalt-related compositional patterns among glass systems. Cobalt-blue potash glass is characteri…
Brass technology transmission via maritime routes
Despite descriptions in tenth-century-AD written accounts, direct evidence for early brass production in China is scarce. The discovery of crucibles and a furnace dating to the ninth–tenth centuries in Guangzhou, southern China, is therefore a key find. Analysis of metal residues found within these crucibles, presented here, confirms the end-to-end processing of raw materials and production of brass via cementation. The authors argue that this fi…
Technology of Slip Affecting Carbon Smudging Depth in Prehistoric Chinese Black Pottery
Carbon smudging and black coating are two main coloration techniques of black pottery, yet the combination of slip and carbon smudging remains unstudied. This research is the first to reveal this black pottery technological process and the mechanism by which slip affects carbon smudging depth. Scientific analyses and simulation experiments were conducted on samples from several archaeological sites in prehistoric China. The results show that unfi…

The Last Zenith of Fine White Porcelain in Northern China—Scientific Analysis of White Porcelain Excavated From the Huozhou Kiln Site, Shanxi Province
The Huozhou Kiln, a significant production site of fine white porcelain in northern China during the Jin–Yuan periods, was analyzed using multiple analytical techniques on samples unearthed during the 2022 excavation. Our findings demonstrate that the porcelain bodies were primarily produced using high‐temperature fired, high‐alumina clay with minimum impurities, with potassium serving as the principal fluxing oxide. In terms of glaze formulation…
How to Blow a Furnace
This study presents the first identification of a ceramic tuyère connector from a Bronze Age bronze‐casting workshop in China, revealing a previously unrecognized component of ancient copper‐smelting air‐supply systems. The artifact was subjected to high temperatures associated with molten bronze and lead. Reconstruction suggests that it functioned as a horizontally oriented tubular component with two lateral supports along its body. To endure me…

The glazed tiles in Yaogang village kiln in the Ming dynasty, Nanjing, China
The kiln site in Yaogang village is the location of the imperial glazed kiln in Nanjing, China: the Jubaoshan glazed kiln. It mainly supplied the glazed tiles required for the construction of imperial buildings, such as the Ming Imperial Palace and Bao’ensi. A total of 15 samples of glazed tiles were selected and analysed by optical microscopy (OM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), thermal decomposition (TD) and energy dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (EDXR…
Scientific research on white potteries from the Nanzuo site in Qingyang, Gansu province
Located in Qingyang, Gansu province, China, the Nanzuo site on the Loess Plateau is a large‐scale, high‐ranking central settlement of the late Yangshao period with capital city characteristics. We used a thermal dilatometer, energy‐dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (EDXRF), optical microscope, scanning electron microscopy with energy‐dispersive spectroscopy (SEM‐EDS), X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectrometer to analyse the firing temperature, c…
A modeling radiocarbon dating for the founding of Yan Vassal State in Western Zhou Dynasty
Western Zhou Dynasty (ca. 1046–771 BC) was established soon after conquering the Shang Dynasty (ca. 1600–1046 BC) and brought about the earliest enfeoffment system in Chinese history. Yan was one of the vassal states of the same clan as Zhou. According to historical records, the capital of Yan state was located near Yan mountain, which is now known as the Liulihe site in the Fangshan District, Beijing. This study carries out the high-precision da…

Isotopic investigations of Chinese ceramics
This chapter provides insights into Chinese ceramic technologies of both bodies and glazes as well as provenance by using isotopes applied to a number of case studies. The use of Sr isotopes to investigate Chinese high-fired Celadon wares and blue-and-white Jingdezhen porcelain (Jiangxi province) has revealed a clear distinction associated with the fluxes used in the glazes: plant ash in celadons and limestone in Jingdezhen glazes, something that…
Chemical and lead isotope analysis of some lead-barium glass wares from the Warring States Period, unearthed from Chu tombs in Changde City, Hunan Province, China
An Experimental Investigation on Lead Isotopic Fractionation During Metallurgical Processes
In this paper, experiments are designed to imitate the non-equilibrium evaporation metallurgical process of lead. The lead isotope ratios of the remaining lead liquid with different percentage losses were then determined using high-solution MC–ICP–MS. The results show that this process does alter lead isotopic ratios of the remaining liquid. However, the variations are so much smaller than the speculated values using the theoretical formula that …

Identification of PbO (BaO) faience from an early and middle Warring States period cemetery at Zhaitouhe, northern Shaanxi, China
Low‐temperature vitreous materials fluxed with lead (and barium) appeared in the early Warring States period ( c .fifth century bce ) in ancient China. A range of lead vitreous products fluxed with the same agent, including faience/glass beads, glazed pottery and Chinese blue (purple) pigment, were developed subsequently. This study carries out scientific analysis of six vitreous beads unearthed from the Zhaitouhe cemetery site in northern Shaanx…

The typological and scientific analysis of bronze artefacts has been widely applied to the issue of local production versus important, which can be further linked to the long‐distance trade exchange and movement of raw materials, technology and people. Bronze artefacts bearing stylistic features of different regional origins have been discovered at the site of Moutuo in Sichuan, south‐west China. This study investigates the metal provenance of th…

Revisiting the addition of tin and lead in Chinese bronzes
During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, China was distinctive for its use of leaded tin bronze, which diverged from bronzes in the Eurasian steppe. A reanalysis of published chemical data of late Shang and Western Zhou bronze vessels aimed to shed light on the purposeful addition of tin and lead. The findings demonstrate that the concentration of tin follows two separate patterns, with the predominant one stabilizing at about 15% and the secondary o…

New scientific analyses reveal mixing of copper sources in the early Iron Age metal production at Ili, western China
The crucial role that Xinjiang played in cultural communication across the Eurasian steppe in prehistory is evidenced by the large number of copper‐based objects that represent the early metallurgical technologies found across this region. Our research adds new chemical and isotopic analyses of 44 copper‐based objects dated to the early Iron Age of Ili in Xinjiang, western China. As noted in a number of publications, tin bronze and arsenic copper…
Fluorite used in ancient Chinese glassmaking during the 10th to 12th centuries
This study conducts a scientific analysis of six pieces of glass artefacts unearthed from Shang‐Jing, the capital city of the Liao dynasty. The test methods include laser ablation inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry and X‐ray diffraction. In terms of chemical composition, one sample is K 2 O‐CaO‐SiO 2 glass and the other samples belong to the K 2 O‐CaO‐PbO‐SiO 2…

Study on the source of raw material and firing technique of glazed tiles bodies in the Ming Imperial palace site, Nanjing, China
This article considered glazed tiles excavated from the Ming Imperial Palace site in Nanjing as the research object. Glazed tiles were selected and analyzed via vacuum porosimeter, thermal dilation (TD), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X‐ray fluorescence (EDXRF) to determine their physical property, firing temperature, phase composition, and chemical composition, respectively. Results show that the firing temperature of body belong…
