This book provides a concise introduction into the critical aspects of analytical pottery studies and demonstrates their significance with four detailed case studies. Integrated geoscientific analytical methodologies, such as XRF, ICP-MS, XRD, SEM, EPMA and RS, have the potential to resolve difficult archaeometric research questions. An in-depth knowledge of the bulk and mineral chemistry, as well as the microstructural and micromorphological sherd attributes, together with geological and palaeozoological observations, provides evidence for establishing the raw-materials, preparation techniques, firing procedure and post-depositional alteration. Details about provenance and technology of ancient ceramics can, consequently, be better constrained.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDM Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47610397032599,"sku":"9783639133400","price":4521.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783639133400.webp?v=1775064683","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/provenance-and-technology-of-ceramic-artefacts-9783639133400","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
