Physicochemical characterisation of pottery from the Vinča culture, Serbia, regarding the firing temperature and decoration techniques

open access: yes, 2016
A study of decorated Neolithic pottery samples from the excavation site Plocnik, Serbia, was performed using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy.

Testing sample selection criteria and loss of biomarkers during cleaning of archaeological unglazed pottery to maximize organic residue quantities

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract As the number of studies in organic residue analysis (ORA) of ancient pottery—a sensitive but as of today also a destructive method—increases, archaeologists are interested in knowing which samples promise the biggest abundance of analytes in order to avoid unnecessary loss of artefacts.

Pottery and non-sedentary communities: origins, technology and usage

open access: yesEtnoantropološki Problemi, 2021
The introduction of the skill of pottery-making has been recognized as the turning point in the human past from the very inception of the disciplines of archaeology/anthropology.

Design Identification of Curve Patterns on Cultural Heritage Objects: Combining Template Matching and CNN-based Re-Ranking [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
The surfaces of many cultural heritage objects were embellished with various patterns, especially curve patterns. In practice, most of the unearthed cultural heritage objects are highly fragmented, e.g., sherds of potteries or vessels, and each of them only shows a very small portion of the underlying full design, with noise and deformations.

The first isotopic evidence of Early Iron Age lead ore exploitation in the Silesian‐Krakow upland, Poland: a provenance study of Lusatian culture lead ornaments

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract The Bronze and Early Iron Ages witnessed a significant increase in trade relations driven by the search for valuable metals. This paper presents new insights into the use of galena from the Silesia and Krakow Upland region in southern Poland, known as the ‘Olkusz ore deposits’, within the context of metal ores in prehistoric Europe.

Ceramics Fragments Digitization by Photogrammetry, Reconstructions and Applications [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2014
This paper presents an application of photogrammetry on ceramic fragments from two excavation sites located north-west of France. The restitution by photogrammetry of these different fragments allowed reconstructions of the potteries in their original state or at least to get to as close as possible.

The production of terra sigillata in Arezzo, Central Italy: an archaeometric investigation

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract This work deals with the archaeometric investigation on 25 fragments of terra sigillata (red‐coated ceramic ware and moulds) found in the city of Arezzo, Tuscany (central Italy), and attributed to several important workshops from the first century BCE to the second century CE.

RoPotter: Toward Robotic Pottery and Deformable Object Manipulation with Structural Priors [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Humans are capable of continuously manipulating a wide variety of deformable objects into complex shapes. This is made possible by our intuitive understanding of material properties and mechanics of the object, for reasoning about object states even when visual perception is occluded.

Raman Spectrometry, a Unique Tool to Analyze and Classify Ancient Ceramics and Glasses [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Physics A: Materials Science and Processing 79 (2004) 167-170, 2007
Raman micro/macro-spectroscopy allows for a non-destructive remote analysis: body and glaze, crystalline and amorphous phases can be identified, including the nanosized pigments colouring the glaze. Last generation instruments are portable which allows for examination in museum, on sites, etc.
