Microstructural Analyses of Salt‐Glazed Ceramics

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Defining features of certain salt‐glazed studio pottery are a surface texture akin to orange peel, with mm‐scale dimples across the ware, and fine‐scale cracking within the salt glaze. There is remarkably little information in the scientific literature to explain the reasons for the formation of the orange peel effect or to specify the length ...

Dealing With Inbuilt Age: A Bayesian Approach to Radiocarbon Dating of Rice, Bamboo and Charcoal From Non Ban Jak, Thailand

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 811-817, August 2026.
ABSTRACT New radiocarbon determinations from rice grains and bamboo have been obtained from Non Ban Jak, Northeast Thailand. These, along with charcoal, date a late Iron Age building sequence. The results come from short‐lived species and charcoal with potential inbuilt age. We built a series of Bayesian models to obtain a reliable chronology.
