Journal ArticleDOI
An approach to the dynamics of clay firing
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study on microtextural and microchemical characteristics of pottery obtained during different experimental firing runs carried out at different temperature under oxidising conditions are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Firing process of natural clays. Some microtextures and related phase compositions
TL;DR: In this article, microtextural and microchemical data on sherds, experimentally fired at different temperatures, reveal the presence of non-homogeneous compositions of firing phases, even over a distance of 10-30μm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal, microscopic and X-ray diffraction studies on some ancient mortars
TL;DR: In this paper, thermal, microscopic, and X-ray diffraction measurements have been carried out on some mortar samples taken from three walls situated in the historical center of the city, and belonging to the following periods: 4•6th, 9•10th and the 16th centuries.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ancient glass production of the Medieval Val Gargassa glasshouse: Fe and Mn XANES study
TL;DR: The results indicated that the samples are soda-lime based glasses as discussed by the authors, and the color variability was exerted by the glassmakers by both controlling the kiln atmosphere and/or adding MnO2 as decoloring agent.
Journal ArticleDOI
