Pottery ancient Greek

Gangas et al. (2) made a similar exploratory study of ancient Greek pottery. They prepared thin samples by scraping 200 mg from the insides of the pottery. They found that there were distinct differences in the spectra obtained which were correctable with archaeological evidence. Among four main groups of pottery examined, clear mineralogical differences were obtained for samples that were the same in appearance. 

Enameling is an old and widelyadopted technology.19 The ancient Egyptians applied enamels to pottery and stone objects. The ancient Greeks, Celts, Russians, and Chinese also used enameling processes on metal objects.9... 

Pottery, one of the earliest human-made ceramic materials, is actually an artificial form of stone, made by combining the four basic elements recognized by the ancient Greeks earth (clay), water, air, and fire. In fact pottery is made from a circumstantial or deliberately prepared mixture of clay, other solid materials known by the generic name of fillers, and water. When a wet mixture of clay and fillers is formed into a desired shape, then dried and finally heated to high temperature (above 600°C), it becomes consolidated... 

BC Ceramic fires are applied for the first time in Ancient Greece. Development of the Greek pottery Pithoi which was used to store food and drink, for funerals and as an art form. 

Glossy surfaces are obtained by dipping or painting the ceramic body with a slip, which is actually a diluted clay mixture with a similar composition to the body clay. Ancient Greek and Roman pottery are well-known examples for this technique.

VA-I them to our advantage. Once we learned how to control fire, we were able to create many new substances. Moldable wet clay, for example, was found to harden to ceramic when heated by fire. By 5000 B.C., pottery fire pits gave way to furnaces hot enough to convert copper ores to metallic copper. By 1200 B.c., even hotter furnaces were converting iron ores to iron. This technology allowed for the mass production of metal tools and weapons and made possible the many achievements of ancient Chinese, Egyptian, and Greek civilizations.
