“…Kontos [39] reported that peaks occurring at 3694, 3669 and 3651 cm −1 , as in the present samples, resulted from the outer hydroxyl ions in kaolinite, while the peak at 3619 cm −1 corresponds to the absorbance of the inner hydroxyl ions. The stretching bands near 1435.34, 871.67 and 711.60 cm −1 are assigned to calcite [20,40].…”

“…For the period of interest (around fifth century BCE), Tyrian purple was identified in three objects found in the Eastern Mediterranean: in the Persian King Darius I stone jar dated in the fifth century BCE (Koren 2008), in a fabric found within a sarcophagus (fifth century BCE) which was excavated in Athens, Greece (Margariti et al 2013) and an astragalos (sixth to second century BCE) found in the cave of Koroneia, Greece (Colombini et al 2004). Mediterranean archaeological findings decorated with molluskan purple and dated to the later Macedonian and Hellenistic periods are also rare (Andreotti et al 2006;Kakoulli 2002;Karydas 2006;Maravelaki-Kalaitzaki and Kallithrakas-Kontos 2003).…”

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and imaging coupled to optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled to energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to diode-array detection are used to investigate two samples removed from a painted decoration of a burial kline and a textile fragment, both found in Koru tumulus (fifth century BCE) in Daskyleion. Tyrian purple and kaolinite were identified in both samples, thus suggesting that the aluminosilicate compound had an important role in the applied painting and dyeing processes. The textile fragment is composed of undyed cotton and silk yarns dyed with the molluskan dye. The relative compositions of the molluskan materials used in the two archaeological objects are similar and comparable with the corresponding composition measured for a purple sample originated from Murex trunculus mollusks according to the HPLC results. This result is supported by principal component analysis (PCA) which, furthermore, takes into account the relative compositions of the extracts of the three Mediterranean mollusks, published in previous reports.

“…These specimens have been chosen according to diversity of their XRD phases. The spectrum of KRK-1 indicates to quartz (776 cm -1 ), calcite (873 cm -1 and 711cm -1 ), calcite/dolomite (1433 cm -1 ), illite/muscovite (456 cm -1 ) and muscovite (551 cm -1 and 1021 cm -1 ) [10,[15][16][17][18][19] (Fig. 3).…”

“…4); the most obvious peaks belong to quartz (776 cm -1 and 693 cm -1 ) [10,[15][16][17][18][19]. In accordance with the references, spectrum of KRK-2 indicates to ankerite/huntite (1453 cm -1 ), kaolinite (1001 and 914 cm -1 ), illite/oligoclase (1001 cm -1 ), albite (600 cm -1 ), magnetite (558 cm -1 ), muscovite/anorthite (484 cm -1 ) [10,[15][16][17][18][19]. But, these results are considered by only characteristic band ranges of the minerals that take place in literature.…”

The region covering Southeastern Anatolia takes place in upper Mesopotamia, so it has numerous cultural heritages due to its witness to various social movements of different civilizations in ancient times. Kuruki Mound is located on the junction point of Tigris River and Batman Creek, near Oymatas village which is almost 15 km to Batman, Turkey. The mound is dated back to Late Chalcolithic. Archaeological excavations are carried out on two hills named as "Kuriki Mound-1" and "Kuriki Mound-2" in which 4-layer and 2-layer settlements have been revealed, respectively. This region will be left under the water by the reservoir lake of Ilısu Dam when its construction is completed. Thus, characterization of ancient materials such as potsherds, metals and skeleton ruins should be rapidly done. In this study, 12 potsherds excavated from Layer-1 (the first settlement layer after the surface) in Kuriki Mound-2 were investigated by FT-IR spectrometry. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were used as complementary techniques in order to expose chemical and mineralogical/phase contents, respectively. Obtained results showed that the potteries have been produced with calcareous clays and they include moderate amounts of MgO, K2O, Na2O and Fe2O3 in this context. Additionally, high temperature phases have also been detected with XRD analyses in some samples.
