A set of 20 vessels was selected from the Japanese National Historical Site ‘Kamuiyaki Kiln Site Cluster’. Selection was performed with explicit archaeological problems and the potential of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) in mind. The set was analysed by INAA and subsequent statistical data analysis adapted to the specific problems of ceramics and applied for the first time in Kamuiyaki. Chemical fingerprinting allowed the a priori separation of the set of samples into two chemically distinct groups that had a clear correlation with the archaeological and chronological data. This indicates that at least two different recipes or sediments were used in the cluster, which can now be identified among the several hundred external sites where sherds are recorded as supposedly produced at Kamuiyaki.

用中子活化分析法从东亚神威烧场出产的陶器

从日本国家历史遗址“ Kamuiyaki窑址群”中选择了20艘船。选择时要考虑到明显的考古问题，并要考虑到仪器中子活化分析（INAA）的潜力。通过INAA对这套陶瓷进行了分析，随后对统计数据进行了分析，以适应陶瓷的特定问题，并首次在Kamuiyaki中使用。化学指纹图谱可将样本集先验分成两个化学上不同的组，这两个组与考古和年代学数据具有明显的相关性。这表明该集群中至少使用了两种不同的配方或沉积物，现在可以在据认为在Kamuiyaki生产的牧草的数百个外部地点中进行识别。
