Identifying spathic calcite recipe in archaeological ceramics: possibilities and limitations

Abstract: In this paper we approach the study of a ceramic recipe based on the addition of crushed spathic calcite as temper. We first briefly discuss the anthropological significance underlying the identification of technological paste recipes, as well as the spatial distribution of the spathic calcite recipe in the Mediterranean basin. Subsequently, we focus on the possibilities of identifying this recipe using several analytical methods, including binocular microscopy, image analysis, petrology, X-ray powder diffract… Show more

“…For the characteristic of the ceramic fabrics from the mold, this study uses binocular microscopy of polished cross sections, SEM method, and the water absorption index. Binocular microscopy of polished cross sections allows us to observe the main textural features, to determine general types and distribution patterns of non-plastic inclusions, and to approximate the amount and shapes of the voids [14,15]. This research includes the study of 12 fractured mold samples.…”

“…8), así como en recipientes de distintas cronologías de la Península Ibérica y de todo el Mediterráneo. El uso de calcita como desgrasante ha sido explicado mayoritariamente desde una perspectiva funcionalista o como marcador cultural y reflejo de la identidad de cada comunidad (Olaetxea, 2000;Clop, 2007;Cubas, 2012;Albero, 2008Albero, , 2014bAlbero, , 2017. Igualmente ha sido detectado en la cerámica a mano de los Castros de Lastra y La Hoya en estudios posteriores (López de Heredia, 2011).…”
