Multi-Techniques Analysis of Archaeological Pottery-Potential Pitfalls in Interpreting the Results.

ABSTRACT: This article presents the results of an analysis of ceramics from archeological sites. The main goal of the study was to determine the elemental composition of ceramics using XRF. This study was conducted in two stages. The first stage involved the analysis of complete vessels from the museum exhibition. The second involved the interpretation of the results obtained from the first stage. In the second stage, 30 samples obtained by dividing a single fragment of a ceramic vessel were analyzed. The results (results scattered due to material heterogeneity) were compared with the results of analyses of a large group of ceramic samples from a similar period. To supplement the information about the ceramic material studied, destructive analyses were also performed (after grinding the aforemention
