“…The Curie temperatures vary from 500°C to 580°C, characteristic for the presence of magnetite or substituted magnetite. This is also confirmed by the results of thermal demagnetisation of the IRMs as shown in Aidona et al, 2010 and the NRMs (Fig. 5b).…”

“…All relevant information can be found in Aidona et al (2010). Following the progress of the archaeological study, two other kilns were sampled in 2009 (SAN6 and SAN10), with 10 hand samples from each kiln while some tiles were retrieved from kiln SAN5 (Fig.…”

“…In spite of the important number of excavated structures, only these three guaranteed "in situ" conditions and good preservation for a reliable archaeomagnetic study. These results will be compared and combined with the ones from kiln SAN8 (Aidona et al, 2010).…”

“…In all cases the soft magnetic fraction is dominant. No significant remanence is left after heating to 580°C, independently of the different magnetizing fields (Aidona et al, 2010). d. Since the dominant magnetic carrier of the studied material is magnetite, we proceeded to the Lowrie-Fuller experiment on 16 representative samples from kilns SAN6 (10) and SAN10 (6).…”

“…The TL method has also been applied in order to date as accurately as possible the end of the settlement activity. A third kiln (SAN8) of the same site, previously studied by Aidona et al (2010), has also been dated with TL, as well as a fourth one (SAN5), for cross checking reasons. On the latter one no archaeomagnetic study was performed, due to its very poor preservation.…”

New magnetic mineralogy and archaeointensity results from greek kilns and baked clays

et al. 2011

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Seven archaeological sites in Northern Greece and a pottery assemblage from IthakiIsland (Ionian Sea) have provided material from kilns and a collection of baked clays. The whole dataset consists of 69 samples and covers a period of almost 4000 years. Although the majority of the samples was oriented, only few directions could be obtained, mostly due to small sample size and fragility. Detailed rock magnetic experiments identified magnetite/titano-magnetite and substituted magnetite as the main magnetic minerals. Variable amounts of haematite were detected in some cases. In three out of eight sites, multi-domain grains prevail, whereas single-, pseudo-single domain or mixtures are detected in the remaining five. The classical Thellier-Thellier palaeointensity method was applied to 94 specimens. Following stringent acceptance criteria, 66 results from the 8 sites were considered successful and retained. These new results show a convergence with regional and global compilations and improve the knowledge of the past geomagnetic field behaviour in Greece.

An Archaeometric and Archaeological Approach to Hellenistic-Early Roman Ceramic Workshops in Greece: Contribution to Dating

The present article comprises a multidisciplinary archaeometric approach for the study of Hellenistic and Early Roman kilns in Greece. A collection of previously published and new archaeomagnetic data are combined with new results from mineralogical analytical experiments. The sampled material came from four areas, covering different geological contexts: Katerini, Olympiada, and Polymylos in mainland Greece, and the island of Paros. Extensive rock-magnetic experiments, including identification of the dominant ferromagnetic minerals present, their domain state, and mineralogical alterations during laboratory treatments, have been carried out in order to examine the magnetic properties of the studied materials and prove their suitability for reliable archaeomagnetic determinations. Magnetic cleaning provided well-defined archaeomagnetic directions, and archaeointensity measurements were carried out using both the Thellier-Thellier and Triaxe protocols. Information from both magnetic and mineralogical properties referring to firing conditions is further discussed along with archaeological information. Finally, a new dating of the four sites together with other structures of similar age was carried out using the Pavón-Carrasco model.
