“…; Palamara et al . ). That being said, other factors such as difference in the amount of lead oxides added to make the glaze and firing temperatures may also result in the observed difference in microstructure.…”

“…Copper oxide (CuO) is the only type of colourant of these samples, with 1.13–4.17 wt% CuO being added to the alkali and alkali‐lead glaze to attain its characteristic turquoise hue (Palamara et al . , 143). An interesting observation here is that the glaze on the interior surface of JE10 has relatively low CuO concentration (< 1.0 wt%), but this glaze has an intense blue hue.…”

The technology and production of glazed ceramics from Middle Islamic Jerash, Jordan

Jerash in northern Jordan was, despite a focus on its classical heritage, also active in the Middle Islamic period, but little is known about actual developments during this period. This study represents the first study on the Middle Islamic glazed pottery from the site using scanning electron microscopy energy-dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS) and thin-section petrography. The results show that two production traditions existed, each with different provenances. The local production is characterized by a non-calcareous ceramic body and the use of a highlead glaze coloured with iron and copper oxides, whereas the turquoise-glazed samples, likely imported from Mesopotamia, have a calcareous ceramic body and alkali or alkali-lead glaze.

“…Non-destructive X-Ray Fluorescence (p-XRF) analysis was applied on all samples using a portable Bruker Tracer III SD set up, with a beam diameter of 3 mm; data quantification was made using S1PXRF software and a custom-built calibration curve, created in collaboration with the scientific personnel of Bruker. A detailed description of the calibration curve and the accuracy and precision achieved for the analysis of glass is provided elsewhere (Palamara, et al, 2016). In order to optimise the analytical range, two settings were used: (1) an unfiltered low-energy excitation mode (high voltage set at 15 kV and current of 24 μΑ, analyses carried out under vacuum) was used for the analysis of major and minor elements with an atomic number, Z, between 11 and 29; and (2) an Al/Ti filtered (0.012 inches Al plus 0.001 inches Ti) high-energy excitation mode (high voltage set at 40 kV and current of 12 μA) was used for the analysis of minor and trace elements with an atomic number Z > 29.…”

“…Each sample was measured at least three times. The accuracy and precision of the applied SEM/EDS setting has been described in detail elsewhere (Moropoulou, et al, 2016;Palamara, et al, 2016). Briefly, all major oxides in glass present high precision (error < 5%), with the exception of CaO which presents a deviation from the true value of approximately 10-15%.…”

This study focuses on the analysis of a post-medieval assemblage of glass vessels and tableware, recovered from an Ottoman bathhouse in Kyparissia, SW Peloponnese, Greece. The chemical composition of the samples was estimated using SEM/EDS, whereas minor and trace elements were identified by qualitative XRF analysis. Raman spectroscopy was applied in order to examine the connectivity of the silicate glass matrix in more detail. The acquired data indicate significant chemical variations among the samples, especially in regards to the alkali source and the decolourant used. Moreover, one high-lead glass has also been identified. The provenance analysis, which was based on the statistical treatment of the resulted and published analytical data, indicated that the different glass types originated both from the eastern regions of the Ottoman Empire and from glassmaking centres in central and northern Europe. The determination of technology and provenance of the assemblage provided with valuable new information regarding the production and trading network of glass in mainland Greece during the Ottoman rule.

“…The analysis was carried out with a portable Bruker Tracer III SD set up, with a beam diameter of 3 mm. The setting used was an Al/Ti filtered (0.012 inches Al plus 0.001 inches Ti) high-energy excitation mode (high voltage set at 40 kV and current of 12 μA) and the collection time of each measurement was 120 sec (Palamara, et al, 2016). The acquired data were only used qualitatively, due to the multi-layered structure of the samples, which was noted by the microscopic examination.…”

The present study focuses on the analysis of four unique artefacts, originally recovered from a tomb complex of the Hellenistic period and now displayed at the New Pylos Archaeological Museum, Niokastro fortress of Pylos, Greece (since 2016). The items are rod-shaped, with a length between 5.5 and 14.6 cm and intricate decorative patterns. The rods were analysed following a multi-technique, non-invasive approach, using optical microscopy, XRF, SEM/EDS and FTIR. The analysis suggests that the three brown rods are made of wrought iron; successive areas of calcite crystal formations are associated with environmental depositions and corrosion defects. The white rod shows distinctly different chemical characteristics: it is composed of a thick core identified as bone and covered by a thin layer of lead. The combined microscopic, chemical and spectroscopic analysis resulted in the chemical characterisation of the artefacts and thus in a better understanding of their properties. In turn, the analysis has lead to hypotheses for the likely function of these unique artefacts (i.e. three writing implements and one decorative hinge).
