“…These specimens have been chosen according to diversity of their XRD phases. The spectrum of KRK-1 indicates to quartz (776 cm -1 ), calcite (873 cm -1 and 711cm -1 ), calcite/dolomite (1433 cm -1 ), illite/muscovite (456 cm -1 ) and muscovite (551 cm -1 and 1021 cm -1 ) [10,[15][16][17][18][19] (Fig. 3).…”

“…4); the most obvious peaks belong to quartz (776 cm -1 and 693 cm -1 ) [10,[15][16][17][18][19]. In accordance with the references, spectrum of KRK-2 indicates to ankerite/huntite (1453 cm -1 ), kaolinite (1001 and 914 cm -1 ), illite/oligoclase (1001 cm -1 ), albite (600 cm -1 ), magnetite (558 cm -1 ), muscovite/anorthite (484 cm -1 ) [10,[15][16][17][18][19]. But, these results are considered by only characteristic band ranges of the minerals that take place in literature.…”

“…In this sense, as the XRD pattern of this pottery points to existence of quartz, gehlenite, feldspar and plagioclase minerals; 1453 cm -1 is likely to indicate to presence of trace amounts of MgCO 3 and CaCO 3 , because ankerite and huntite are related with formation/decomposition reactions of these carbonates, and gehlenite is formed at 850 o C with the reaction of CaO and illite structure [22]. Bands at 1001 cm -1 (600 cm -1 , 484 cm -1 ) and 914 cm -1 are considered as signs of feldspar and aluminosilicates, respectively [19,23]. FT-IR spectrum of KRK-12 (Fig.…”

“…5). The results also include quartz (780 cm -1 ), illite/muscovite (496 cm -1 and 1021 cm -1 , respectively), albite (645 cm -1 , 602 cm -1 and 454 cm -1 ) and magnetite (559 cm -1 ) [10,[15][16][17][18][19]. XRD pattern of KRK-12 approves the existence of high amount of CaO and chemical analysis of the potsherd also shows that the highest amount of CaO takes place in this specimen.…”

The region covering Southeastern Anatolia takes place in upper Mesopotamia, so it has numerous cultural heritages due to its witness to various social movements of different civilizations in ancient times. Kuruki Mound is located on the junction point of Tigris River and Batman Creek, near Oymatas village which is almost 15 km to Batman, Turkey. The mound is dated back to Late Chalcolithic. Archaeological excavations are carried out on two hills named as "Kuriki Mound-1" and "Kuriki Mound-2" in which 4-layer and 2-layer settlements have been revealed, respectively. This region will be left under the water by the reservoir lake of Ilısu Dam when its construction is completed. Thus, characterization of ancient materials such as potsherds, metals and skeleton ruins should be rapidly done. In this study, 12 potsherds excavated from Layer-1 (the first settlement layer after the surface) in Kuriki Mound-2 were investigated by FT-IR spectrometry. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were used as complementary techniques in order to expose chemical and mineralogical/phase contents, respectively. Obtained results showed that the potteries have been produced with calcareous clays and they include moderate amounts of MgO, K2O, Na2O and Fe2O3 in this context. Additionally, high temperature phases have also been detected with XRD analyses in some samples.

“…[3][4] In continuation of our studies on terra-cotta sarcophagi unearthed in the excavations of ancient Ainos, in this study, ten rectangular terracotta sarcophagi, together with a terra-cotta aryballos (perfume jar), belonging to 6 th and 5 th centuries BC and found in the fourth, fifth or sixth zones of Su Terazisi necropolis in the 2009 excavations, were investigated by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA). INAA is a very accurate and highly sensitive method for multi-elemental analysis, which has been extensively applied to provenance studies.…”

Ten terra-cotta sarcophagi, together with a terra-cotta aryballos (perfume jar), excavated in Su Terazisi necropolis of Enez-Turkey (Ancient Ainos), were investigated by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA), to determine the concentration of thirty two chemical elements: Na, K, Ca, Fe, Sc, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Sb, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy, Yb, Lu, Hf, Ta, Th and U. The dataset was submitted to multivariate statistical analysis. The classification was done by cluster analysis. The results demonstrated the occurrence of two different groups of terra-cotta samples. Group I contains nine sarcophagi and terra-cotta aryballos whereas group II contains only one sample (E09-ST5-M26). High correlations between La and Ce (r 2 = 0.92), and U and Th (r 2 = 0.91) indicated that local clay was used for manufacturing the terra-cotta sarcophagi and aryballos but probably the claybed used for E09-ST5-M26 was different from that of others.

International audienceThe activation of metakaolin using an alkaline solution is a method for producing high quality consolidated materials. Si, Al and K are the main factors that influence the nature of the consolidated materials. This study focuses on the effects of the composites on the final network formation. Two types of alkaline solutions, one (Sc) based on a commercial potassium silicate solution and the other (S l ) synthesized by mixing KOH and amorphous silica, were studied, and their effects on the network formation of consolidated materials were compared and discussed. Four types of materials were observed and identified based on different Si, Al and K contents, including a geopolymer, gel, sedimented materials and hardening materials. These behaviors are manifested in the various polycondensation mechanisms and microstructures, which were characterized using FTIR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction measurements and Scanning electron microscope observations. The influence of Si, Al and K is discussed according to network formation
