Archeological ceramic artifacts characterization through computed microtomography and X‐ray fluorescence

Abstract: aThe analysis of ceramic materials has been proven to be an indispensable tool for indirectly approaching past people and societies through their cultural remnants, allowing inferences about their technology, and their interaction with their surrounding physical and social environments. Pottery products acquire their characteristic properties during the manufacture process. Compositional (mineralogical and chemical) and microstructural analyses have become an integral part of interdisciplinary archaeological r… Show more

“…Volumetric quantification of objects in archaeological studies using microCT, whether experimental tools/materials, actual artifacts, organic remains, or fossils, is proving to be a valuable analytical tool for researchers. In the majority of cases, microCT is used on the macroscale, primarily for morphometric reconstructions and analyses of the shapes, dimensions, and/or internal structures of bone, shell, tooth, ceramic, glass, plant, stone, and wood (e.g., Abel et al, 2011;Agostino et al, 2016;Arnaud et al, 2016;Beck et al, 2012;Bello and Galway-Witham, 2019;Bello et al, 2013aBello et al, , 2013bBosch et al, 2019;Bradfield, 2013Bradfield, , 2015Calo et al, 2019;Dreossi et al, 2010;Guzzo Falci et al, 2020;Gerlach et al, 2006;Kahl and Ramminger, 2012;Karl et al, 2014;Machado et al, 2017;Mizuno et al, 2010;Ngan-Tillard et al, 2018;Viallet, 2019;Woods et al, 2017;Xing et al, 2018).…”

“…MicroCT can provide information about vessel-forming techniques and provenance of pottery materials (Kahl and Ramminger 2012;Sanger 2016;Machado et al 2017;Kozatsas et al 2018;Bernardini et al 2016Bernardini et al , 2019b. This technique is a precious non-destructive tool to perform fabric characterisation of pottery, allowing the visualisation and quantification of lithic inclusions, clay matrix, pores and disjunctures generally related to firing shrinkage, loss of organic temper or the result of how the vessels were shaped into their final form (Bernardini et al 2016(Bernardini et al , 2019b.…”

“…1) have been studied using X-ray computed microtomography (hereinafter microCT) to define their production technology and to characterise their pastes. MicroCT has already been applied to the study of ancient pottery providing information about vessel-forming techniques and provenance (Kahl and Ramminger 2012;Bernardini et al 2013Bernardini et al , 2015Bernardini et al , 2016Sanger 2016;Machado et al 2017). When the artefacts under consideration cannot be sampled, such as in our case, microCT is a precious tool to perform fabric characterisation of pottery, allowing the visualisation and quantification of lithic inclusions, clay matrix, pores and disjunctures generally related to firing shrinkage, loss of organic temper or the result of how the vessels were shaped into their final form (Bernardini et al 2016).…”
