Abstract:
Ceramics are particularly well suited for investigating general patterns of
the distribution of premodern products. Archaeometric methods, used to
determine raw materials and production techniques, permit the identification
of places of production. The work of the research group presented here pursues
two objectives: (i) to investigate the usefulness of portable X-ray
fluorescence equipment for the analysis of ceramics and (ii) to identify,
interpret and study distribution areas of ceramic products in comparative
prospective. The paper discusses key economic concepts, sets out the
archaeometric methodology and presents initial results in the context of two
examples.
