“…Over the last few years, examining ceramic artifacts through geochemical analysis has become an increasingly common approach (Ashley et al, 2015;Castanzo, 2014;De La Fuente et al, 2015;Falabella et al, 2013;Glowacki et al, 2015;Grave et al, 2014;Minc et al, 2014;Nunes et al, 2013;Ownby et al, 2014;Peterson, 2015;Rodríguez-Alegría et al, 2013;Sharratt et al, 2015;Stoner et al, 2015Stoner et al, , 2014. However, the increasing popularity of "sourcing" ceramic artifacts has not diminished some inherent concerns about the results, especially when compared to the more traditional analysis of obsidian (Eerkens et al, 2002;Neff, 2000).…”

Archaeological analysis of pottery remains from Northeast Asia has traditionally emphasized macroscopic traits such as decoration and vessel form. While these features are important in characterizing the cultural affiliation of pottery, compositional analysis can provide new lines of evidence that highlight social processes such as migration and exchange. Using a ceramic assemblage recovered from the Kuril Islands of Northeast Asia, this research investigates the regional exchange of pottery associated with the Epi-Jomon and Okhotsk cultural traditions. Results of this study indicate cultural differences highly influence the geographic distribution of compositional groups and patterns of regional exchange. Keywords archaeometry, pottery, Kuril Islands, exchange networks, maritime hunter-gatherers Highlights • The first compositional analysis of hunter-gatherer pottery from the Kuril Islands of Northeast Asia • Epi-Jomon and Okhotsk occupations demonstrate compositional macrogroups with different geographic distributions • Compositional analysis indicates limited exchange or movement of Epi-Jomon pottery between regions of the Kuril Islands

“…No caso da cerâmica, devido à ampla distribuição dos afloramentos de argila, a aproximação corrente consiste em determinar grupos composicionais de referência nos fragmentos cerâmicos, para depois compará-los com amostras de fontes. O grupo tem desenvolvido essa estratégia, realizando o estudo multielementar tanto de fragmentos cerâmicos, quanto em alguns casos de amostras de argila de afloramentos conhecidos, mediante INAA e também com ajuda dos procedimentos de análise multivariada, referidos na seção anterior (Munita et al, 2005;Nunes, 2009;Santos et al, 2009;Nunes et al, 2013;Hazenfratz, 2014); b) Composição da pasta: em termos de pasta (componentes), a cerâmica está constituída por uma matriz de argila, com inclusões de natureza diversa (mineral, vegetal, biomineral e partículas antropogênicas como fragmentos cerâmicos moídos), que recebem o nome de antiplástico ou tempero, além de diversos produtos de transformação mineralógica devidos à queima (Rice, 1987; ver também Barreto et al, 2016, pp. 553-568).…”

“…A comparação com amostras de argila coletadas a 6 km do sítio (Nunes, 2009, pp. 57-58;Nunes et al, 2013) permitiu corroborar, num grupo composicional, a existência da referida fonte compartilhada pelas três fases. Por sua parte, a análise da temperatura de queima mediante EPR não revelou diferenças entre as fases.…”

Resumo O presente artigo traz uma revisão da principal literatura produzida pelo Grupo de Estudos Arqueométricos do Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares, Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear, de São Paulo (IPEN-CNEN/SP), criado em 1997, como consequência de uma iniciativa internacional para motivar o uso de técnicas nucleares para caracterização de materiais arqueológicos. Desde aquele momento, e até hoje, o grupo tem desenvolvido parcerias com pesquisadores/as de diferentes regiões do Brasil e de outros países para oferecer subsídios à compreensão interdisciplinar das cadeias operatórias de produção da cerâmica. Além disso, também vem aportando dados para o estudo multielementar e mineralógico de depósitos arqueológicos. Ao descrever brevemente os princípios das técnicas empregadas e a síntese dos resultados obtidos para cada estudo de caso, o objetivo foi demonstrar a contribuição das análises físico-químicas para questões relacionadas a aspectos culturais, como escolhas tecnológicas compartilhadas, redes de trocas e interações sociais em diferentes períodos do passado.

“…Geochemical data were statistically treated to identify groups of chemically similar bricks. These groups are interpreted as made from the same raw materials and therefore presumably in the same place, although not necessarily at the same time (Nunes et al, 2013). Alteration (heating and firing) and contamination (lime mortar), perhaps due to post-depositional processes, normally modify the original composition of ceramics (Buxeda & Garrigós, 1999).…”

Brick samples from different archaeological sites represent mostly houses in Brussels (Belgium) built between the end of the Middle ages (end of 13 th-beginning 14 th centuries) and the end of the Modern Period (18 th century). The study gives a mineralogical-petrographical-chemical characterization of the brick samples made in the Brussels-Region and sources the raw silty material, the moulding sand and the lime-mortar. Optical microscopy, X-ray powder diffractometry, Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry, magnetic susceptibility and scanning electron microscopic with an energy dispersive X-ray attachment were applied both to fired clay bricks and regional clayey materials. Bricks were moulded with a silica rich, non-calcareous loam gathered locally in the alluvial plain of the Senne valley. Material from gleysols and fluvisols were mined separately to shape two types of bricks. A strong chemical resemblance with the thick loessic deposits of the Belgian plateaus results from erosion and river transport and sedimentation in the wide alluvial plain of Brussels. Petrography and geochemistry show minor participation of marine Lower Palaeozoic, Cretaceous and Tertiary rocks from the alimentation area of the Senne. Although clayey tertiary layers outcrop in the Brussels Region and are cut by the numerous tributaries of the Senne valley, they were never exploited for brick making in the Brussels Capital Region. Mineralogical composition and petrography suggest the absence of mixing with river sand or local marine tertiary sands. Local sediments extracted in the valley sides as Eocene fossiliferous fine sand were used as moulding sand. Résumé : Les briques étudiées proviennent majoritairement d'habitations construites à Bruxelles (Belgique) entre la fin du Moyen Âge (fin xiii e-début xiv e siècle) et la fin des temps Modernes (xviii e siècle). L'étude fournit une caractérisation minéralogique, pétrographique et chimique des briques faites dans la Région de Bruxelles Capitale et discute des sources des matières premières silteuses, les sables de moulage et les mortiers de chaux. La microscopie optique, la diffraction des rayons X, l'ablation laser associée à la spectrométrie de masse à couplage inductif, la susceptibilité magnétique et la microscopie électronique à balayage couplée aux analyses par analyse dispersive en énergie, furent utilisées pour caractériser les briques et différentes ressources argileuses régionales. Les briques ont été moulées avec une matière première silteuse, riche en silice, non calcareuse et récoltée
