“…The sherds mainly either came from archaeological excavations or were surface finds. They were selected to be typologically diagnostic, and had previously been included in a comprehensive multidisciplinary study involving standard archaeological methods of typological analysis and ceramic petrography to investigate provenance (Mason, 1996(Mason, , 2003Mason and Golombek, 2003;Mason, 2004).…”

“…The White Nile brings rounded monocrystalline quartz with a minor quantity of feldspar, the sediments of the Blue Nile hold commonly mafic volcanic particles, K-feldspar, and biotite, besides the Atbara River donates volcanic rock remains augite, and olivine. The Nile alluvium in the areas north of the union is labeled considered as extra homogeneous, enclosing mineral sets of quartz, feldspars, amphiboles, clinopyroxenes, mica, round fragments of primary volcanic rock, and phytoliths of plants, which are mostly formed from weathering of the basaltic Ethiopian Hilltops [5]. The archaeological locations of the Royal City and Meroe have together situated were located in lengthways the eastern cut banks of the Nile: Meroe is located 150 km north northern of Khartoum [6].…”

In this paper, the results obtained using a multi-analytical approach for characterization of six potsherds originally attributed to the 4 th century BC excavated from Meroatic sites, Sudan were reported. Sort of the minerals and their structural deformation during the production forming process from the raw material used by artisan to ware were performed, in the particular, the maximum heating temperature obtained during burial and operative condition (open or close condition) of the kiln were performed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was the completing analysis to estimate the firing temperature from typical thermal reactions in potsherds. Further X-ray Ray Fluorescence, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX) were used to analyze the morphology, chemical composition and find subsequent progress of vitrification levels. The XRD results give supportive information obtained from the FT-IR spectra. X-ray diffractometry results have shown the existence of quartz, albite (MER-02, MER-04, MER-06) anatase (MER-03) and manganite (MER-05) minerals. Thus, the mineralogical structure of a potsherds samples has a quite dissimilar composition that could suggest that different source of the raw material utilized for the potsherds production. Clay minerals can be used for re-establishment of previous production conditions. In the present paper TGA, FT-IR and XRD results potsherds are examined and information derived on potsherds technologies regarding raw materials and production conditions is confirmed by SEM observations relating to the extent of vitrification. The temperature at which potsherds were fired differs over range (700-900 °C) depending on the sort of clay used and the kiln existing. The obtained data point out that the investigated potsherds were made from different raw materials and workshops.

“…In fact, scientific data regarding to haft rang tiles is rare, and the problem of attributing the Safavid haft rang tiles to a special centre of tile‐making seems to be still unsolved. It can be due to the fact that tileworks might have been manufactured in a region and have been exported to other regions in order to be applied in architectural facades …”

“…It can be due to the fact that tileworks might have been manufactured in a region and have been exported to other regions in order to be applied in architectural facades. [10] To determine the origin of unknown products, a numerous provenance studies derived from quantitative elemental analysis, such as neutron activation analysis (NAA), [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] particle-induced x-ray emission (PIXE), [25][26][27][28] and various techniques of atomic spectroscopy and spectrometry (ICP-MS, LA-ICP-MS, ICP-AES, etc.) [26,27,[29][30][31][32][33][34] have been carried out on ceramic bodies.…”

Application of WDXRF in the provenance studies of Persian haft rang tiles: a statistical approach

An outstanding style of Persian tilework, which emerged from the north‐eastern Iran in the 15th century, was extensively used for decorating architectural facades during the Safavid period (from the 16th through the 18th century). This type of tilework, the so‐called haft rang, technically comprises of forming a clay body and firing two glazed layers on top of the body. In the present paper, the first analytical data concerning haft rang tiles is provided. To do so, forty three samples of Safavid haft rang bodies were analysed by wavelength dispersive x‐ray fluorescence (WDXRF) and the obtained data were handled by principal component analysis (PCA). The results showed that the 17th century haft rang tiles wherever found are local products; that is, Safavid tile‐makers have used local clay sources to make the bodies of haft rang tiles. The analytical data also showed that old tileworks, in general sense, can be simply replaced by newly manufactured tiles or, at least, all tilework revetments in an individual edifice might not have been produced in an identical workshop. Moreover, WDXRF was used as an accurate and precise method to determine the chemical composition and to support compositional classification in provenance studies and can be considered as a reliable alternative for studying the provenance of archaeological ceramics.
