This tutorial paper is focused on the mineralogical-petrographic characterization of clayey raw materials with the purpose of sourcing supply basins and answering questions about the provenance of the corresponding archaeological ceramic artefacts. The first part gives general indications of how to profitably study archaeological ceramic thin sections through the polarizing microscope. Brief notes are provided on the theoretical basis of optical microscopy. A scheme is then provided for the petrographic description of ceramic samples, concerning the textural and compositional characteristics of aplastic inclusions and groundmass. Suggestions are also given for identifying any minero-petrographic marker and establishing minero-petrographic groups (MGP) aimed at archaeological ceramic provenance studies. After broadly describing the geological origin of the clay deposits, there is discussion of how to plan a field survey aimed at the location of clay sources and sampling. The importance of the ethnoarchaeometric approach in provenance studies is also underlined. The third part of the paper describes the preliminary treatments to which the clayey raw materials are subjected before reporting on a grain size analysis and how to proceed when performing experimental firing tests. Finally some suggestions are made about how to compare clay firing tests (experimental briquettes) and archaeological ceramic finds when assessing a production centre.

陶瓷原料:如何识别它们以及如何定位供应盆-矿物学,岩石学

本教程的重点是黏土原料的矿物学-岩石学表征,目的是寻找供应盆地,并回答有关相应考古陶器物产的问题。第一部分给出了如何通过偏光显微镜对考古陶瓷薄切片进行有益研究的一般指示。在光学显微镜的理论基础上提供了简要说明。然后提供一种方案,用于陶瓷样品的岩石学描述,涉及再生障碍性夹杂物和地面质量的结构和组成特征。还提出了一些建议,以鉴定任何矿物岩石学标记物,并建立针对考古陶瓷起源研究的矿物岩石学组(MGP)。在大致描述了粘土沉积物的地质成因之后,讨论了如何计划针对粘土源和采样位置的野外调查。还强调了民族考古学方法在物源研究中的重要性。本文的第三部分描述了在进行粒度分析之前,对黏土原料进行的初步处理,以及在进行实验烧成试验时如何进行。最后,提出了一些有关评估生产中心时如何比较粘土烧制试验(实验煤球)和考古陶瓷发现的建议。还强调了民族考古学方法在物源研究中的重要性。本文的第三部分描述了在进行粒度分析之前,对黏土原料进行的初步处理,以及在进行实验烧成试验时如何进行。最后,提出了一些有关在评估生产中心时如何比较粘土烧制试验(试验煤球)和考古陶瓷发现的建议。还强调了民族考古学方法在物源研究中的重要性。本文的第三部分描述了在进行粒度分析之前,对黏土原料进行的初步处理,以及在进行实验烧成试验时如何进行。最后,提出了一些有关评估生产中心时如何比较粘土烧制试验(实验煤球)和考古陶瓷发现的建议。
