“…One sample, M15, is definitely an outlier, with a Fe/Mn: 1.78 (16.35% Mn and 29.14% Fe). This variation in the ratio of Fe/Mn is also expressed in Raman analysis with the alternative presence of Mn oxide minerals and hematite compounds (De La Fuente and Pérez Martínez , ).…”

“…As shown in Figure (a), white paints are characterized by Ca‐bearing minerals such as ghelenite, calcite and gypsum (cf. De La Fuente and Pérez Martínez , ). In some cases, both the low intensity of reflections of micas and feldspars, and the presence of new higher temperature mineral phases (hematite and ghelenite) were observed.…”

Chemical and mineralogical characterization of Aguada Portezuelo pottery from Catamarca, north‐western Argentina: PIXE, XRD and SEM‐EDS studies applied to surface pre‐ and post‐firing paints, slips and pastes

Particle‐induced X‐ray emission (PIXE), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), electron microprobe analysis (EDS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analytical techniques were used to characterize surface paints in pre‐ and post‐fired Aguada Portezuelo decorated pottery. Surface paintings in black, white, red, brown, burgundy and ochre were analysed. Major, minor and trace elements were detected by PIXE, whereas XRD and SEM‐EDS gave information on the main mineral phases and the characteristic morphology for each analysed pigment. The results obtained indicate that the main colour groups can be easily discriminated by PIXE, and they are characterized by only one pigment for each colour: hematite (red) and manganese mineral oxides (black), respectively, whereas white pigments are characterized by calcite, ghelenite and gypsum.

The Persistence of the Black Colour in Magnetite‐Based Pigments in Prehispanic Ceramics of the Argentine North‐West

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The persistence of the black colour in magnetite‐containing paints in polychrome ceramics of the Argentine North‐West processed under conditions considered as oxidant has generated questions about ancient production technologies. In this work, the thermal oxidation reaction of magnetite to hematite under different temperatures, atmospheres and physicochemical characteristics of the materials is experimentally evaluated. The causes of this behaviour are elucidated, and it is concluded that in the archaeological context, a double‐firing process was not necessary to achieve the coexistence of different colours.
