“…The authors assumed that the ancient baking temperature was achieved when the change in one of the alteration parameters exceeded 10%. The magnetic susceptibility method later suggested by Rasmussen et al (2012) relies only on the behavior of magnetic susceptibility, but nevertheless it has already been successfully applied in a number of studies related to pottery (Goodwin & Hollenback, 2016;Karacic et al, 2016;Kostadinova-Avramova et al, 2018).…”

During urgent archaeological excavations in the city of Plovdiv (South Bulgaria), a Roman pottery workshop was found, including several dome kilns, ceramic sherds, and a large clay deposit incorporating yellow and gray clay layers. A set of the ceramic specimens (kitchenwares and tablewares) and raw clay samples were investigated using a portable device for X‐ray fluorescence and laboratory equipment for magnetic measurements, aiming to provide specific information about the origin and firing technology of the pottery. Despite significant difference in calcium content between local raw clay and pottery samples, we conclude that local natural clay sources were used and the initial stages of production involved clay purification, although we cannot rule out the procurement of more distant clay sources. Magnetic susceptibility testing allowed for determination of the maximum firing temperatures, showing that the pottery were fired predominantly at 780°C, with some samples being fired at temperatures up to 860°C. Magnetic analyses show that kitchenwares were fired under more uniform conditions than the tablewares, which undoubtedly reflected in the quality of the vessels produced.

“…7 Various studies carried out to estimate the firing temperature of ceramic to observe the hardness and density, thermal expansion and shrinkage of the product in assessing the technology of pottery in ancient ages that reveal the development of techniques. Furthermore, the firing temperature of ceramic is a good indication of the economy, since high firing needs a huge amount of materials as source for the kiln heat 8 . Additional methods used for the firing temperature estimation which include 9 i) measurement of the coercive force and saturation magnetization of ceramic ii) the microstructure observation of ceramic matrix through sintering and vitrification by SEM 10 .…”
