Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 2110-2127, April 2024.Abstract Reducing the environmental impact of porcelain tile production while maintaining cost‐effectiveness is challenging. This work introduced a novel modeling approach for optimizing a standard composition range comprising kaolinite (15–38 wt.%), illite (0–20 wt.%), quartz (20–40 wt.%), and feldspar (20–45 wt.%) to establish a robust composition ...

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 97-105, February 2024.Summary Despite the obvious methodological similarities between archaeology and geology, we argue here that the fundamental assumption in scientific provenance studies of inorganic artefacts provides an insufficient basis for the methodology. That assumption is that there is a geochemical link between the source of the raw material and the finished ...
