Hidden in the Glaze: Cobalt Blue Decorations of Catalan Tin‐Glazed Ceramics From the 16th to 18th Centuries

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates technological evolution in 16th–18th century Catalan tin glazes and cobalt blue decorations. Analysis reveals three glaze strategies, highlighting shifts in tin oxide use and cobalt pigment composition. In the 16th century, tin oxide acted as an opacifier and cobalt pigments exhibit low arsenic content with CoO/NiO and ...

Without Scratching the Surface: Depth Profiling Compositional Muon Analysis of Ancient Faience From Egypt and Sudan

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The specific depth‐profiling capabilities of the muonic x‐ray emission spectroscopy (μ‐XES) technique have proved to be effective for examination of the elemental distribution within ancient coins. This ‘layered’ analysis can also be applied to the examination of ancient faience, the production of which can result in distinct layers (glaze ...
