Using neutron activation analysis to identify scales of interaction at Kinet Höyük, Turkey

Ceramic production and provenience at Gordion, Central Anatolia

“…Prior to comparing the ceramics with sediments both datasets were analyzed separately using a standard multivariate protocol detailed elsewhere (Grave, Kealhofer et al, 2008). For the initial ceramic dataset two broad groups were identified with different trajectories in the multivariate projections.…”

“…Elsewhere we have detailed our sampling, processing, and analysis procedures (Grave, Kealhofer et al, 2008;Kealhofer, Grave, et al, in press). In summary, ceramic and sediment samples are photographed and recorded in the field, and prepared at the University of New England for NAA.…”

“…Below detection limit measurements marked with ''-''. compositional and geological heterogeneity (see Grave, Kealhofer, et al, 2008;Kealhofer, Grave, et al, in press). …”

“…However, their published standards data indicate an overall high level of absolute precision and accuracy for the HB dataset comparable to ours. In addition, from our previous experience in combining different uncorrected NAA datasets of ceramics for a single site NAA measurement offsets are small, particularly at the relatively coarse level employed here of distinguishing between local and non-local elemental profiles (Grave, Kealhofer, et al, 2008).…”
