“…This can be explained by improved mechanical strength of the samples after dehydroxylation and less capability of the dehydroxylated samples to expand [12]. This fact was also observed in ancient ceramics investigated in [2,13,14]. The second step of the mass-loss has sharp termination at ~840 °C which is a typical feature of the TG curve of the decomposition of calcite [15].…”

A pavement brick taken from a Romanesque part of the church in Pác, in the Trnava County, Slovakia, was investigated by x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and thermal analyses as differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetry (TG) and thermodilatometry (TD). It was found that the brick contained dehydroxylated illitic clay, calcite and quartz. As revealed, dehydroxylation was completely finished and no redehydroxylation was observed. Partial decomposition of calcite was also found. The estimated firing temperature is between 600 °C and 700 °C.

“…However, taking into account the fact that sherds of ancient ceramics are stored in the earth for thousands years under ambient conditions, calcite could also be a result of a post‐burial recarbonation process. Calcium silicates and aluminosilicates on storage in contact with water and CO 2 decompose and produce again CaCO 3 8. In order to gain more information about the origin of calcite in the samples and the presence of calcium silicates, we have registered ATR‐FTIR spectra of the samples.…”

“…The analysis of the mineralogical phases can also provide information about the transformations experienced by some minerals, which can be indicative of the conditions of the firing process, i.e. atmosphere and temperature 8, 9. In this way, both technological and provenance information can be obtained 10…”

Raman microspectroscopy has been employed for the characterization of 16 samples of ancient Iberian pottery. These sherds of vessels were found in the archaeological site of La Vispesa in Tamarite de Litera (Huesca, Spain) and correspond to the Iberian time. The composition of certain mineral phases such as non-plastic inclusions has been particularly considered with a view to obtaining information on the source materials and their provenance, as well as the technological conditions of ceramic production. Typical minerals such as calcite and quartz were found in most of the samples. The presence of anatase in a group of the samples suggested the use of different clays in the production of the vessels. Furthermore, the absence of rutile in these samples, together with the identification of calcite, is indicative of a mild firing temperature. Hematite was identified in all samples, both in the ceramic body and in the decoration. Differences in the position of the bands and relative intensities characterized hematite in terms of crystallinity and origin. An attempt to assign the samples to different production centers was made according to their chemical composition and morphology.

“…This technique allows the examination of changes occurred due to the decomposition, transformation and formation reactions during a controlled heating process (Drebushchak et al [17]). Samples were heated from room temperature to 1200°C with a heating rate of 10°C/min in order to expose the enthalpy changes (plotted by DTA curves with endothermic and exothermic effects) and weight loss/gain (plotted by TG curves).…”

There are many archaeological excavations still being performed in Anatolia to unearth the cultural heritages from the past civilizations. Archaeological excavations started in the Seyitömer Mound in 1989. It is located on a large coal reserve and archaeological excavations need to be completed as soon as possible to utilize the mine. Pottery sherds investigated in this study were unearthed in the Seyitömer Mound and they belong to the Achaemenid period. Characterization studies on findings may contribute to archaeological knowledge about how they produced artifacts. To study the production technology of the Achaemenid pottery sherds, chemical analysis of samples was performed by wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF) and mineralogical/phase composition analysis was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microanalysis technique (EDX) were performed for microstructural and microchemical analysis. Thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) were employed to characterize the potsherds. It may be concluded from the results that ceramic bodies have been produced from illitic clays rich in iron and magnesium, containing carbonated minerals such as calcite and dolomite. Finally, considering the obtained results, firing temperatures of the potsherds could be between 600°C and 900°C.
