Abstract:This study investigates the magnetic mineralogy of a collection of archaeological potteries. Actual magnetic carriers and the domain states of the constituent magnetic fine particles have been obtained from the acquisition of isothermal remanence and low field susceptibility measurements. The magnetic mineralogy of all samples has been dominated by ferrimagnetic mineral (magnetite/magnetite with low titanium content) which is suitable for paleointensity measurement in determining the intensity of the ancient g… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
