Abstract The main objective of this study was the archaeometric analysis of eleven ceramic fragments discovered in the archaeological site of Suplacu de Barcău/Porț-Corău, situated in the Northwest part of Romania, more precisely in the Sylvanian Basin. The ceramic fragments come from different archaeological contexts and show a typically decoration, through black painting. The studied ceramic fragments have fine and semi-fine textures, discovered in certain stratigraphic situations: funerary contexts or household pits. All the analysed fragments belong to the Suplac type pottery. The archaeological research, both systematic and preventive, highlighted the main characteristics of the Neolithic habitation in the Sylvanian Basin, making it the subject of numerous studies until now. In the present paper, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS) and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) analyses were carried out on the batch of ceramic pieces studied, and based on the obtained results, the burning temperature of the samples was estimated. At the same time, for five clay samples – collected from archaeological sites and around the settlement – the elemental content was determined to establish the potential source of clay for the ceramic fragments.
AbstractList In the present paper, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS) and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) analyses were carried out on the batch of ceramic pieces studied, and based on the obtained results, the burning temperature of the samples was estimated. By getting to know the composition of raw materials used in different types of archaeological ceramic pieces, firing temperature, or tracing features of decoration, but also to determine the chemical composition of the soil/raw materials by performing analyses, making a correlation between them: clay deposits, local sediments, and ceramic composition can provide much useful information or even answers to some questions like: what kind of ceramic vessels were ritually deposited as a funeral inventory? were these pieces specially made to be deposited? were they made in a certain way compared to the usual, domestic ceramics? was the production technology different for vessels with different functionality? were they decorated differently? are those found in different contexts? [17] have mentioned that some of this sample could have functioned, at their first use, as clay pits for raw material extraction. [...]the pottery of Suplac Group has been analysed regarding the composition of the black matter used on painted decoration of the pottery found at Porț-Corău; for that study samples of this material were used, analysed by GC-MS and FTIR spectroscopy. ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES To accomplish the archaeometric characterization, the ceramic fragments required some complementary methods for compositional and morphological analysis. [...]were investigated by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersion spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and attenuated total reflection - Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR).
