Mossbauer spectroscopy started mainly as a tool for the physicists. Quite early however, chemists realized its potential and today Mossbauer spectroscopy is widely used throughout such fields as nuclear and solid state physics, chemistry, biology, metallurgy, ceramics, archaeology, and even the fine arts. The extensive literature on Mossbauer spectroscopy is thus written by scientists from many different fields and is therefore somewhat difficult to read. [Pg.123]

Trace-element analysis, using emission spectroscopy (107) and, especially, activation analysis (108) has been appHed in provenance studies on archaeological ceramics with revolutionary results. The attribution of a certain geographic origin for the clay of an object excavated elsewhere has a direct implication on past trade and exchange relationships. [Pg.422]

It seems appropriate, therefore, to begin a survey of archaeological materials with a discussion of inorganic materials - from minerals and rocks, the most abundant materials on the planet, to those extracted, derived, or made from them, such as metals and alloys, glass and ceramics (Chapters 1-7). Organic and biological materials produced by, or derived from plants or animals are discussed next (Chapters 8-15). Finally, the atmosphere and the hydrosphere, which make up most of the environment that affects all materials and determines the way they decay, are surveyed (Chapter 17). [Pg.21]

Sampling archaeological materials for analytical purposes may sometimes be the most difficult stage in an analytical procedure (Bellhouse 1980 Cochran 1977). Since rock, ceramics, and cement are heterogeneous materials, obtaining a representative sample of them may be the most difficult step in a whole analytical procedure. [Pg.54]

Mossbauer spectroscopy is an analytical technique that, in archaeological ceramic studies, provides information on the condition and characteristics of the compounds of iron in pottery. Using the technique makes it possible to determine the relative amounts of the different (ferrous and ferric) ions of iron and hence to ascertain the firing conditions of the pottery at the time it was made. The technique involves irradiating a sample of pottery with gamma rays and then assessing the amount of radiation absorbed by the nuclei of the ions of iron within the pottery (Feathers et al. 1998 Bearat and Pradell 1997). [Pg.60]

Common ancient ceramic materials often found in archaeological excavations, such as fired brick and pottery, were made mostly from a mixture of a secondary clay and fillers. The nature, composition, and properties of clay have been already discussed the nature of the fillers, the changes undergone by the clay as well as by the fillers during their conversion to ceramics, and the unique properties of ceramic materials, are reviewed in the following pages. Attention is drawn also to studies that provide information on the composition and characteristics of ancient ceramic materials. [Pg.263]

Efflorescence. The solvent properties of water also causes efflorescence, a phenomenon whereby soluble or slightly soluble substances migrate from the interior of porous solids to the surface, where they precipitate. Efflorescence is an important factor in the decay and disintegration of many rocks, and of human-made porous materials such as ceramics, and even of some types of glass. On archaeological objects, efflorescence generally occurs mostly as a white, powdery, but sometimes consolidated accretion on the surface of the objects. Calcite, a form of calcium carbonate, is one of the most common substances to effloresce on archaeological ceramics. [Pg.441]
