Overview

Report highlights misinterpretations in elemental analysis of ceramics, suggesting non-destructive procedures may obscure results in archaeological studies.

Key Points

  • To analyze the elemental composition of ceramics and identify potential pitfalls in interpreting results.
  • Utilized XRF for elemental analysis of ceramic vessels.
  • Conducted destructive analyses with FTIR for mineral composition and UV-Vis and HPLC-ICP hrOES for iron speciation.
  • Performed analysis on 30 samples obtained from a single ceramic fragment.
  • Results showed scattered data due to material heterogeneity.
  • Limiting research to non-destructive methods led to misinterpretation in the analysis.
