“…As regards the Mediterranean area, abundant investigations have been reported on some well-known examples of painting on archaeological pottery such as black (and also red) gloss especially on Attic but also southern-Italian, Etruscan and Roman ceramics [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], while for other forms of decoration a site-by-site investigation is still needed. Numerous studies on the subject have been devoted in the past to the Greek civilization, as reviewed by Jones [10], while for a lot of fundamental work we are indebted to Noll [11,12].…”

A study is presented based on the use of entirely non-destructive spectroscopic techniques to analyze the chemical composition of the painted surface layer of archaeological pottery. This study aims to define both the raw materials and the working technology of ancient potters. Energy-dispersive Xray analysis, micro-Raman spectroscopy, visible and near infrared (NIR) diffuse reflection spectroscopy and external reflection Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were applied to matt-painted bichrome pottery sherds (VIII-VII century B.C.) from the site of Incoronata near Metaponto in southern Italy. Two different raw materials, ochre and iron-rich clay, were recognized for the red decoration, while the dark areas resulted to have been obtained by the so-called manganese black technique. In any case, it was demonstrated that the decoration was applied before firing, in spite of its sometimes grainy aspect that could suggest a post-firing application. For the samples with a more sophisticated decorative pattern a red/black/white polychromy was recognized, as the lighter areas correspond to an "intentional white" obtained by the firing of a calcium-rich clay. Reflection spectroscopy in the visible-NIR and mid-IR as well as micro-Raman spectroscopy were then employed to characterize the decoration of an intact ceramic urn from the Etruscan town of Chiusi, evidencing a post-firing painting based on the use of red ochre, carbon black and lime, possibly imitating the "fresco" technique used in wall paintings.

“…Nevertheless, our preliminary results from a systematic study of Apulian red-figured vases, found in excavations of important sites of Apulia (Mangone et al 2008(Mangone et al , 2013, have shown peculiar features related to the technological process in the fourth century BC, different from the Attic one and never reported before in the literature. This result is twofold important: it sheds light on the technological aspects, still not perfectly clear, of Apulian production; moreover, it provides an objective element of discrimination from the Attic production and allows to comprehend the phase of transition from following an Attic model to an Apulian one, which took place during fourth century BC.…”

“…Thus, an appropriate statistical analysis could allow to identify similarities and/or differences and postulate some hypotheses of import. The data matrix- Table 2-was then extended to compositional data of Attic (Jones 1986, http:// helios.unive.it/-termo/DataBank/Attica/AiginaandMegaride/ Athens.htm) and Apulian (Mangone et al 2008(Mangone et al , 2013 redfigured pottery coming from different sites. Figure 4 highlights that two distinct clusters, one relating to the Attic findings and the other to the Apulian ones are the results of the PCA treatment.…”

“…The multivariate statistical treatment of compositional data, usually applied to split wares in groups distinctly discriminated per archeological category (Aruga et al 1993;Bruno et al 1994), provenance (Mirti et al 2004b;Mangone et al 2009aMangone et al , 2011Giannossa et al 2014), or manufacturing process (Mangone et al 2008(Mangone et al , 2009c(Mangone et al , 2013, was carried out on standardized data using the software package Minitab®.…”

“…Lastly, few archaeometric works concerned the Apulian redfigured ware, absolutely insufficient to provide a clear picture about technological aspects and possible similarities/differences with the Attic production (Noble 1960;Tite et al 1982;Jones 1986;Kingery 1991;Graves et al 1997;Ingo et al 2000;Tang et al 2001;Mirti et al 2004a;Mangone et al 2008Mangone et al , 2009bMangone et al , 2013Thorn and Glascock 2010;Robinson 2013Robinson , 2014a.…”

The electrocatalytic effect exerted by hematite, a ubiquitous component of clay bodies, on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) can be used to acquire information on archaeological ceramics. The solid-state voltammetric response of different hematite and ochre specimens, accompanied by SECM analysis in contact with 0.10 M HCl aqueous solution, is described. In air-saturated solutions, catalytic effects on the ORR and OER are accompanied by Fe(III)/Fe(II) and Fe(IV)/Fe(III) redox reactions. Such processes are conditioned by a variety of factors, the hydroxylation degree of the mineral surfaces being particularly influential, and exhibit significant variations upon heating the specimens between 300 and 900 °C. Voltammetric measurements carried out on a set of archaeological samples of Apulian red-figured pottery dated back within 5 th and 4 th centuries BCE permit to obtain sitecharacteristic voltammetric profiles.
