Lead-Glazed Ceramic Fragments: Intentional Glazing or Metallurgical Accident?
AbstractCeramic fragments from an excavation by Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe in 2014 around the deserted early medieval site of Brilon-Alme were subjected to archaeometric analysis. Except for one miniature object, they are coarse-grained tempered, and many of them are coated with a green-brownish glaze.
