Solduz Valley sherds

The results of the analyses of pottery from the Solduz Valley (51 samples from Hajji Firuz, 91 samples from Dalma Tepe, and 45 samples from Pisdeli Tepe) are presented in Table I as group means and standard deviations for the elements Na, Al, K, Ca, Ti, V, Mn, Sm, Eu, and Dy. Uranium, magnesium, and barium have not been included because their values were invariably at or close to their INAA detection limit. Also, Cl has been ignored because it is accumulated from the environment during pot or sherd burial.

Small samplings of sherds from Tepe Gawra and Tell Ubaid indicate small, but probably significant, chemical differences between the clay sources at each site and between them and the ceramics of the Solduz Valley.
