Geochemical ceramic composition dataset using neutron activation and statistical analyses.

ABSTRACT: These are comprehensive baseline data on the geochemical composition of archeological ceramics analyzed using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). The data obtained support the research article conducted to evaluate the elemental composition of 70 sherds that were collected from different locations [1], [2], [3]. The mass fractions in wt% and in mg/kg of 39 oxides and elements were determined, respectively. Quality control of analytical measurements was carried out using different certified reference materials. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were performed. The common geochemical composition of the archeological pottery was used to decipher the provenance of ceramics and to establish reference groups based on various statistical approaches. For instance, hiera
